Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMX-TMP) is one of the most frequently used antibiotics. SMX is metabolized by N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) to nontoxic or toxic intermediates. Little is known about the association between genetic variations of these enzymes and SMX-TMP-induced liver injury (SILI). The aim of this study was to explore the genetic polymorphisms of NAT2 and...
