Metronidazole (Flagl), a compound widely used in man with minimal side-effects, has been used in the treatment of anaerobic infections caused by Bacteroides fragilis and other Bacteroides species. Seven patients were treated and all were restored to full health. Four of them did not respond to lincomycin or clindamycin which so far have been the drugs of choice against anaerobic infections. The reasons for the good results during metronidazole therapy such as the good penetration through the blood/brain barrier and into abscess cavities are discussed.

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a significant global public health issue due to its high recurrence rate and association with various adverse health effects. Understanding the composition and dynamics of the vaginal microbiota (VMB) is essential for better understanding of vaginal health and for developing effective strategies to improve BV management. The study aimed to determine the composition and diversity of the VMB in Thai women with BV before and after metronidazole (MTZ) treatment, and in healthy women.

Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are widespread, with Ascaris lumbricoides infecting millions globally. Malaria and STH co-infections are common in co-endemic regions. Artemisinin derivatives (ARTs)-artesunate, artemether, and dihydroartemisinin-are standard malaria treatments and are also known to influence the energy metabolism of parasites, tumors, and immune cells.

A unique case report on campylobacter rectus infection leading to acute motor axonal neuropathy in a pediatric patient. Campylobacter rectus is an anaerobic bacterium found in the oral cavity. While it has been linked to periodontal disease, its association with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), a variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, remains unverified.
