Chromosomal Resistance to Metronidazole in <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> can be Mediated By Epistasis Between Iron Homeostasis and Oxidoreductases
2020-03-05
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal resistance to metronidazole has emerged in clinical Clostridioides difficile , but the genetic mechanisms remain unclear. This is further hindered by the inability to generate spontaneous metronidazole-resistant mutants in the lab to aid genetic studies. We therefore constructed a mismatch repair mutator, in non-toxigenic ATCC 700057, to unbiasedly survey the mutational landscape for de novo resistan...
