Haem is crucial for medium-dependent metronidazole resistance in clinical isolates of Clostridioides difficile

Ilse M. Boekhoud et al.

Summary: The study found that nearly all isolates of C. difficile from infected patients displayed a haem-dependent increase in metronidazole resistance. Additionally, a key SNP in the haem-responsive gene was identified. These results demonstrate the crucial role of haem in mediating resistance to metronidazole in C. difficile.

Global Landscape of Clostridioides Difficile Phylogeography, Antibiotic Susceptibility, and Toxin Polymorphisms by Post-Hoc Whole-Genome Sequencing from the MODIFY I/II Studies

Hailong Zhao et al.

Summary: This study systematically characterized a global set of clinical trial C. difficile isolates, revealing geographic variability in clades, variability in toxin genes, and mutations associated with antibiotic susceptibility, indicating a highly complex interaction of C. difficile between host and environment. The dataset provides a valuable resource for validating findings and future research on C. difficile.
