Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine whether exposure of Helicobacter pylori-infected mice to metronidazole resulted in the delivery of mutagenic compounds to the gastric epithelium via the oxygen-insensitive NADPH nitroreductase (RdxA) of H. pylori. C57BL/6 transgenic mice containing the lambda/lacI transgene were inoculated with peptone trypsin broth, H. pylori SS1 or SS1-rdxA(-), an SS1-derived mutant in...
