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