Evaluation of the effect of 1,3-bis-(4-phenyl-[1,2,3] triazole-1-il)2-propanol in comparison with metronidazole in an in vitro culture of Blastocystis in samples of patients with irritable bowel syndrome
Abstract:Metronidazole is the most-used pharmaceutical for the treatment of infection by Blastocystis. However, studies have reported resistance of the microorganism towards this pharmaceutical. In Mexico, studies concerning the prevalence of this parasite and its relationship to Irritable Bowel Syndrome have been carried out. To evaluate the in vitro effect of metronidazole and the compound 1,3bis-(4-phenyl-[1,2,3] triazole-1-il)2-propanol over Blastocystis, as well as the prevalence of Blastocystis in patients with I… Show more
