Decoding a cryptic mechanism of metronidazole resistance among globally disseminated fluoroquinolone-resistant Clostridioides difficile

A. O. Olaitan, C. Dureja, M. Youngblom, M. A. Topf, W.-J. Shen, A. J. Gonzales-Luna, A. Deshpande, K. E. Hevener, J. Freeman, M. H. Wilcox, K. L. Palmer, K. W. Garey, C. S. Pepperell, J. G. Hurdle

This study identifies a mutation in C. difficile that causes metronidazole resistance and links it to fluoroquinolone resistance, contributing to the spread of drug-resistant strains.
