Growth ofGiardia intestinalisin TYI-S-33 medium containing a sub-lethal concentration of metronidazole over a period of 66 weeks selected a line of organisms that was over 8 times less sensitive to the drug. This resistance was unstable and the organisms reverted to their original sensitivity within 22 weeks of growth in the absence of drug. A comparison of the uptake of [14C]metronidazole by the original and selected Unes showed a highly significant reduction in drug uptake by the resistant line, indicating either a defective transport mechanism across the cell membrane or decreased reduction of metronidazole to the active metabolite within the ceell. There was no significant difference in the uptake of metronidazole by 9 recent isolates ofG. intestinalismaintained in axenic culture.
