Stable resistance to metronidazole in a nontoxigenic Clostridium difficile strain was investigated at both the genomic and proteomic levels. Alterations in the metabolic pathway involving the pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase were found, suggesting that reduction of metronidazole, required for its activity, may be less efficient in this strain. Proteomic studies also showed a cellular response to oxidative stress.
在基因组和蛋白质组水平上研究了一株非产毒素艰难梭菌对甲硝唑的稳定耐药性。发现涉及丙酮酸-铁氧还蛋白氧化还原酶的代谢途径发生了改变,这表明该菌株中甲硝唑发挥活性所需的还原过程可能效率较低。蛋白质组学研究还显示了细胞对氧化应激的反应。
