Summary

The strainT. foetus KV 1/M 100, a sub-strain ofT. foetus Kv 1, was made highly resistant to metronidazole by several passages in mice under increasing drug pressure. This drug resistance was accompained by a remarkable cross-resistance to all 5-nitroimidazole-derivatives tested in vitro and in vivo.
