Antimicrobial susceptibility against metronidazole and carbapenem in clinical anaerobic isolates from Pakistan

Abstract Background Globally metronidazole and carbapenem resistance in anaerobic organisms is increasing necessitating continuous surveillance to guide selection of empirical treatment. In this study we have determined metronidazole resistance in anaerobes using MIC Evaluator strips (M.I.C.E strips...
