Metronidazole Activation Is Mutagenic and Causes DNA Fragmentation in Helicobacter pylori and in Escherichia coli Containing a Cloned H. pylori rdxA(+) (Nitroreductase) Gene

Much of the normal high sensitivity of wild-type Helicobacter pylori to metronidazole (Mtz) depends on rdxA (HP0954), a gene encoding a novel nitroreductase that catalyzes the conversion of Mtz from a harmless prodrug to a bactericidal agent. Here we report that levels of Mtz that partially inhibit...
