comparison of resistant and susceptible strains of trichomons vaginalis to metronidazole using pcr method

چکیده
background: metronidazole is drug of choice recommended by who for treatment of trichomoniasis, however, some reports claims drug resistance in trichomonas vaginalis isolates recently. the objective of this study was to determine the minimum lethal concentration (mlc) of metronidazole in resistant and sensitive strains, as well as genetic patterns of these stains by pcr method. methods : from february 2006 to march 2007, in a cross sectional study, clinical and wet mount examination of vaginal smear along with culture were performed on 683 women attending to public and private outpatient clinics in hamadan. trichomoniasis marked based on major clinical symptoms. diagnosis confirmed using wet mount microscopically and culture in diamond medium. a serial concentration of metronidazole was provided and all isolated trichomonas strains (resistant and sensitive) tested by standard method. finally, all sensitive and resistant strains examined by pcr technique. results : only 15/683, (2.2%) of patients clinically diagnosed trichomonal vaginitis were positive for t. vaginalis by wet smear and culture. the minimum lethal concentration (mlc) for clinically sensitive isolates was 25 µg/ml; however, this concentration for resistant isolates was 200 µg/ml after 24 h and 100 µg/ml after 50 h. the results of pcr examination of dna from sensitive and resistant isolates had same pattern. the lanes appeared by two primers were 98 bp and 261 bp for both clinically sensitive and resistant strains. conclusion : resistance to metronidazole in t. vaginalis has not relation to genetic variations and might be related to some physiologic pathways of organism.

متن کاملMetronidazole-resistant Trichomonas vaginalis.
A 36-year-old woman with symptomatic metronidazole-resistant trichomonal vaginitis for 10 years had a total of 22 courses of treatment with either metronidazole or tinidazole according to different schedules. The minimum trichomonicidal concentration of metronidazole for the strain of Trichomonas vaginalis isolated from the patient was 160 microgram/ml compared with 1.25-10 microgram/ml for oth...
متن کاملAntioxidant defences in the microaerophilic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis: comparison of metronidazole-resistant and sensitive strains.
The sensitivity of the microaerophilic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis to oxygen and products of its reduction, and the antioxidant defences employed by this organism, were investigated. Studies revealed that this amitochondrial flagellate is sensitive to oxygen tensions above those experienced in situ in the vagina (i.e. > 60 microM) and that metronidazole-resistant strains (CDC 85 and IR78) w...
متن کاملIn vitro metronidazole and tinidazole activities against metronidazole-resistant strains of Trichomonas vaginalis.
The in vitro activities of tinidazole and metronidazole against Trichomonas vaginalis isolates clinically resistant to metronidazole were compared. Minimal lethal concentrations (MLCs) of tinidazole were significantly lower than MLCs of metronidazole. Increased metronidazole resistance correlated with increased tinidazole resistance. These data support a role for tinidazole in the treatment of ...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولUsing PCR to Compare the Expression of CDR1, CDR2, and MDR1 in Candida Albicans Isolates Resistant and Susceptible to Fluconazole
Abstract Background and objectives: More Candida albicans strains are reported resistant to fluconazole in patients with AIDS, cancer and organ recipients. Fluconazole resistance can be attributed to changes in pathways of sterol biosynthesis, mutation in or overexpression of ERG11 and the expression of CDR1, CDR2, and MDR1. This study aimed to compare the ex...
