Abstract
We investigated the influence of sub-inhibitory concentrations amoxycillin on metronidazole uptake of the metronidazole-susceptible facultative microorganism Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. The rate of metronidazole uptake by bacterial cells simultaneously incubated with amoxycillin was higher than uptake in cells incubated with metronidazole alone. This phenomenon may explain the recently reported in-vitro synergic interaction between metronidazole and amoxycillin against A. actinomycetemcomitans.Entities:
