Bacteremia caused by a metronidazole-resistant Prevotella sp. strain.
Metronidazole resistance among Prevotella spp. is rare. We report here the first case of bacteremia due to a high-level metronidazole-resistant Prevotella sp. responsible for treatment failure.
متن کاملSubdural empyema caused by Prevotella loescheii with reduced susceptibility to metronidazole.
Sir, Prevotella spp. are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming anaerobes that are important members of the normal oral, colonic and vaginal flora in humans. These organisms have been isolated from patients with chronic sinusitis, brain abscesses and oral cavity infections often mixed with other anaerobes and streptococci. Metronidazole resistance among Prevotella spp. is rare. We report a clinical i...
متن کاملTreatment of infections caused by metronidazole-resistant Trichomonas vaginalis.
Infections with the sexually transmitted protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis are usually treated with metronidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole drug derived from the antibiotic azomycin. Metronidazole treatment is generally efficient in eliminating T. vaginalis infection and has a low risk of serious side effects. However, studies have shown that at least 5% of clinical cases of trichomoniasis are caused b...
متن کاملMeningitis caused by vancomycin-resistant Leuconostoc sp.
A rare case of purulent meningitis caused by vancomycin-resistant Leuconostoc sp. is reported. The patient was treated successfully with penicillin G, and there were no neurological sequelae. We recommend that all gram-positive cocci isolated from cerebrospinal fluid and blood be fully identified so as not to confuse Leuconostoc spp. with more commonly isolated pathogens such as pneumococci and...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of a Metronidazole-Resistant Helicobacter pylori Strain
We report here the complete genome sequence of a metronidazole-resistant Helicobacter pylori strain (MET(r)). The MET(r) strain was obtained under exposure of H. pylori 26695 on agar plates with low metronidazole concentrations. The genome data provide insight into the genomic changes of H. pylori under selection by metronidazole in vitro.
