Exploratory Investigation of Bacteroides fragilis Transcriptional Response during In vitro Exposure to Subinhibitory Concentration of Metronidazole
Bacteroides fragilis, member from commensal gut microbiota, is an important pathogen associated to endogenous infections and metronidazole remains a valuable antibiotic for the treatment of these infections, although bacterial resistance is widely reported. Considering the need of a better understanding on the global mechanisms by which B. fragilis survive upon metronidazole exposure, we perfor...
متن کاملTwo multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Bacteroides fragilis carry a novel metronidazole resistance nim gene (nimJ).
Two multidrug-resistant Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates contain and express a novel nim gene, nimJ, that is not recognized by the "universal" nim primers and can confer increased resistance to metronidazole when introduced into a susceptible strain on a multicopy plasmid. HMW615, an appendiceal isolate, contains at least two copies of nimJ on its genome, while HMW616, an isolate from a p...
متن کاملIsolation of metronidazole-resistant Bacteroides fragilis carrying the nimA nitroreductase gene from a patient in Washington State.
Members of the Bacteroides fragilis group are among the most common anaerobic bacterial isolates in clinical specimens. Metronidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole, is often used as empirical therapy for anaerobic infections. Susceptibility testing is not routinely performed because of nearly universal susceptibility of Bacteroides spp. to this agent. We report a case of metronidazole-resistant Bacteroid...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Clinical Isolates of Bacteroides fragilis Group Organisms Recovered from 2009 to 2012 in a Korean Hospital
BACKGROUND Periodic monitoring of antimicrobial resistance trends of clinically important anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides fragilis group organisms is required. We determined the antimicrobial susceptibilities of clinical isolates of B. fragilis group organisms recovered from 2009 to 2012 in a tertiary-care hospital in Korea. METHODS A total of 180 nonduplicate clinical isolates of B. f...
متن کاملnim gene-independent metronidazole-resistant Bacteroides fragilis in surgical site infections
Background:Bacteroides fragilis is the most common anaerobic pathogen isolated from surgical site infections (SSIs). Metronidazole resistance is increasing and the mechanisms of resistance are not clear in some isolates. The aim of the present study was to investigate the metronidazole susceptibility prevalence, and detect nim genes in B. fragilis isolates from SSIs. Methods: This study include...
