| symbiosis of mycoplasma hominis in trichomonas vaginalis may link metronidazole resistance in vitro. | fourteen of 28 trichomonas vaginalis isolates collected from patients in guangzhou, china from 2003 to 2004 were found to be naturally infected with mycoplasma hominis, as determined by pcr using specific primers. in vitro metronidazole sensitivity assay of the 28 isolates revealed four displaying low susceptibility [minimum lethal concentration (mlc)= approximately 13-25 microg/ml] and another four displaying high resistance (mlc=50-100 microg/ml). the overwhelming majority of these resistant i ... | 2006 | 16847608 |
