background: metronidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole derivative, is the main antitrich­omonal agent of  choice   for   treatment  of t richomoniasis . since 1962, s ome cases of treatment failure with metronidazole have been reported and recently drug re­sistance is now on the rise in the world. this study was aimed to determine current susceptibility of iranian isolates of trichomonas vaginalis to me...

BACKGROUND Plants produce secondary metabolites that often possess widespread bioactivity, and are then known as phytochemicals. We previously determined that several phytochemical-rich food-derived preparations were active against pathogenic foodborne bacteria. Trichomonads produce disease (trichomoniasis) in humans and in certain animals. Trichomonads are increasingly becoming resistant to co...

Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are one of the major causes of acute illness, infertility, long term disability and death for millions of men, women and infants globally. Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis are well established agents of STIs leading to vaginal discharge in women. However, the prevalence and co infection patterns among symptoma...

background: in spite of sufficient knowledge about phenotypic variation of trichomonas vaginalis , its genetic characteristics are poorly understood. we carried out a molecular epidemiology study in which in vitro metronidazole susceptibility of t. vaginalis isolates was considered. methods : this study was conducted on 862 women admitted to gynecology clinics in hamadan, west of iran, during 2...

trichomonas vaginalis infection is a sexually transmitted infection causing vaginitis and acute inflammatory disease of the genital mucosa. although metronidazole resistance in t. vaginalis is well documented, the only drug approved for the treatment of trichomoniasis in some countries is metronidazole. genus allium plants including garlic; shallot and onion have had an important medicinal role...

Trichomonas vaginalis infections in the male have received scant attention.Baumeister and Hollinger (1941), after an intensive search of world medical literature, discovered records of only 145 cases of infection in the male urethra by T. vaginalis. Liston and Lees (1940) reported that they could not find a single paper on the subject in any medical journal published in Great Britain, and Freed...
