Metronidazole has antiprotozoal activity against Giardia duodenalis. The mechanism of action for its antiprotozoal activity is not well understood but it acts primarily against the trophozoite forms of the parasites resulting in a decrease in cyst shedding. Metronidazole is reduced as it enters the susceptible target cell where it interacts with bacterial or protozoal DNA, causing a loss of helical structure and strand breakage in the DNA. This breakage leads to the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis and therefore causes death of the bacterial or protozoal cell.",[115],{"id":116,"documentId":117,"slug":118,"name":119},835,"t9tj6uzjddax6el3zphd9j5y","unknown-cellular-or-molecular-interaction","Unknown Cellular or Molecular Interaction",[],[],[]]
