Culturing of Giardia lamblia under microaerobic conditions can impact metronidazole susceptibility by inducing increased expression of antioxidant enzymes by Kateryna Starynets, Ana Paunkov, Anja Wagner, Klaus Kratochwill, Christian Klotz, David Leitsch

“…Indeed, 713 proved to be less susceptible to metronidazole under microaerophilic conditions as compared to anaerobic conditions, and residual growth was even noted at concentrations of metronidazole similar to those in the serum of treated patients (i.e. about 100 μM). Further experiments showed that 713 also grows much faster under microaerobic conditions than WB C6. …”
