metronidazole and Bacterial Infections, Gram-Negative

metronidazole has been researched along with Bacterial Infections, Gram-Negative in 32 studies

Metronidazole: A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
metronidazole : A member of the class of imidazoles substituted at C-1, -2 and -5 with 2-hydroxyethyl, nitro and methyl groups respectively. It has activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa, and has a radiosensitising effect on hypoxic tumour cells. It may be given by mouth in tablets, or as the benzoate in an oral suspension. The hydrochloride salt can be used in intravenous infusions. Metronidazole is a prodrug and is selective for anaerobic bacteria due to their ability to intracellularly reduce the nitro group of metronidazole to give nitroso-containing intermediates. These can covalently bind to DNA, disrupting its helical structure, inducing DNA strand breaks and inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death.

"Linezolid was selected as a first-line antimicrobial drug."1.39Otogenic cerebellar abscess by Enterococcus avium, a very rare infectious agent. ( Escribano, JA; Lozano, J; Rivin, E; Solivera, J; Vidal, E, 2013)
"Although polymicrobial infections, such as peri-implantitis or periodontitis, were postulated in the literature to be caused by synergistic effects of bacteria, these effects remain unclear looking at antibiotic susceptibility."1.37Antibiotic susceptibility of cocultures in polymicrobial infections such as peri-implantitis or periodontitis: an in vitro model. ( Al-Nawas, B; d'Hoedt, B; Karbach, J; Mouratidou, A, 2011)
"Total excision of dermal sinus tract, dermoid cyst, and the intramedullary abscess by means of a L2-S3 laminectomy, followed by antibiotic therapy resulted in good functional recovery."1.35Infected lumbar dermoid cyst presenting with tetraparesis secondary to holocord central lesion. ( Cekinmez, M; Erdogan, B; Sener, L; Tufan, K, 2008)
"This case emphasizes the importance of adequately dosed antibiotic therapy, also for unusual bacteria such as species of Aeromonas."1.33[Postoperative infection of an epigastric hematoma caused by Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria]. ( Bomke, AK; Feyerherd, P; Podbielski, A, 2006)
" The virtual peak levels which had been determined by pharmacokinetic dosage calculation were compared with the serum concentrations obtained directly after the administration as well as after 15, 30, 60 and 180 min."1.29Studies on drug monitoring in thrice and once daily treatment with aminoglycosides. ( Georgieff, M; Konrad, F; Neumeister, B; Rommel, H; Wagner, R, 1993)
"Infectious myositis is rather uncommon."1.29Veillonella myositis in an immunocompromised patient. ( Beumont, MG; Duncan, J; Edelstein, PH; Esterhai, JL; Mitchell, SD, 1995)
