Article Synopsis
- The study identifies and characterizes the complete genome of a metronidazole-resistant bacterial strain (TOH-2715) isolated from an elderly Japanese woman, revealing its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 8 mg/L.
- This strain features two chromosomes with mobile genetic elements (MGEs) containing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, including two significant AMR-related regions in chromosome 2.
- The research highlights the potential for horizontal gene transfer among anaerobic bacteria, raising concerns about increasing rates of metronidazole resistance in clinical settings.

Background: Laryngeal mask airways (LMA) are commonly used for airway management. Complications with this device are rare. However, when they do occur, there is a high risk for respiratory problems, necessitating early diagnosis and treatment.

The in vitro resistance of selected red/orange complex periodontal pathogens to tinidazole was compared with four other antibiotics. Subgingival biofilm samples from 88 adults with severe periodontitis were anaerobically incubated on enriched Brucella blood agar with and without supplementation with tinidazole (16 mg/L), metronidazole (16 mg/L), amoxicillin (8 mg/L), doxycycline (4 mg/L), or clindamycin (4 mg/L). Growth of , , or on antibiotic-supplemented plates indicated their in vitro antibiotic resistance.

Objectives: In this study we assess the antibiotic resistance genes in three metronidazole-resistant Prevotella bivia clinical isolates.
Methods: Strains were whole-genome sequenced. De novo assembly was performed and genes were annotated in RAST.
Low antibiotic resistance among anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria in periodontitis 5 years following metronidazole therapy.

Department of Periodontology, Institute of Clinical Odontology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, Norway.
The objective of this study was to assess antibiotic susceptibility among predominant Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria isolated from periodontitis patients who 5 years prior had been subject to mechanical therapy with or without adjunctive metronidazole. One pooled sample was taken from the 5 deepest sites of each of 161 patients that completed the 5 year follow-up after therapy. The samples were analyzed by culture.
