case_images: On both BBA and NBA, single-type, round, shiny, convex, transparent, non-hemolytic colonies with a zone of inhibition around the metronidazole disc were obtained after 72 hours of anaerobic incubation (Fig. 2A). The isolate was found susceptible to Metronidazole (MIC = 3 mug/ml) and resistant to Clindamycin (MIC = 256 mug/ml) (Fig. 2B).
