Metronidazole, which is used for the treatment of infections caused by anaerobic organisms, was evaluated in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected guinea pigs. M. tuberculosis can adapt to hypoxia, which is present in the primary lesions of infected guinea pigs. Metronidazole treatment (for 6 weeks at 100 mg/kg of body weight) resulted in no reduction in the bacillary burden and significantly worsened lesion inflammation.
甲硝唑用于治疗由厌氧菌引起的感染,在感染结核分枝杆菌的豚鼠身上进行了评估。结核分枝杆菌能够适应低氧环境,这种环境存在于受感染豚鼠的原发性病灶中。甲硝唑治疗(以100毫克/千克体重的剂量持续6周)并未使细菌负荷降低,反而显著加重了病灶炎症。
