Nitroimidazoles are the group of organic compounds consisting of an imidazole ring with at least one nitro group substituent. The term also refers to the class of antibiotics that have nitroimidazole in their structures.^[2] These antibiotics commonly include the 5-nitroimidazole positional isomer.
