Once metronidazole enters the organism by passive diffusion and activated in the cytoplasm of susceptible anaerobic bacteria, it is reduced; this process includes intracellular electron transport ...
Similar to antibiotics, antiseptics facilitate the eradication of the anaerobic vaginal microbiota associated with bacterial vaginosis which allows for the recolonisation of indigenous lactobacilli.
Metronidazole exerts antibacterial effects in an anaerobic environment against most obligate anaerobes. Once metronidazole enters the organism by passive diffusion and activated in the cytoplasm ...
Limited data indicate that some antiseptics may have equal efficacy in treating BV on short term compared to treatment with clindamycin or metronidazole. Further study is however warranted with ...
