The triple-base-pair 16S rDNA mutation AGA(926-928)-->TTC mediates high-level tetracycline resistance in Helicobacter pylori. In contrast, single- and double-base-pair mutations mediated only low-level tetracycline resistance and decreased growth rates in the presence of tetracycline, explaining the preference for the TTC mutation in tetracycline-resistant H. pylori isolates.
三联碱基对16S rDNA突变AGA(926 - 928)-->TTC介导幽门螺杆菌对四环素的高水平耐药。相比之下,单碱基对和双碱基对突变仅介导低水平的四环素耐药,并且在四环素存在的情况下会降低生长速率,这解释了四环素耐药幽门螺杆菌分离株中对TTC突变的偏好。
