Abstract excerpt
Genomic variations of rdxA and frxA genes in eight pairs of metronidazole (MTZ)-sensitive and -resistant isolates of Helicobacter pylori were investigated. The paired strains from each single biopsy had identical lspA-glmM restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles, and the differences in MTZ susceptibility were mostly accounted for by mutations in the rdxA gene. Truncation of RdxA is associated with a...
