Abstract
Thirty-three clinical isolates of Bacteroides strains with a moderate-to-high level of resistance to 5-nitroimidazole were compared with three strains previously studied by Southern blotting of their DNA. Whether plasmid-borne or chromosomally determined, all genetic determinants that are resistant to 5-nitroimidazole belong to two hybridization groups.
