Pentoxifylline, a Non-Antibiotic Drug, Promotes Adaptation of Clinical Isolates of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> via Modulating c-di-AMP Signaling
2025-09-09
Abstract excerpt
This study investigated how Staphylococcus aureus adapts under pentoxifylline (PTX) therapy through analyzing three phylogenetically related isolates (L1, L2, L3) from a bacteremia patient. Whole genome sequencing revealed L1 contained a 2400-bp insertion disrupting nupC , while L3 harbored mutations in the anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequences of 16S rRNA. Each isolate evolved distinct mechanisms to reduce c-di-AMP lev...
