IS1-related large-scale deletion of chromosomal regions harbouring the oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase gene nfsB causes nitrofurantoin heteroresistance in Escherichia coli
Nitrofurantoin is a broad-spectrum first-line antimicrobial used for managing uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI). Loss-of-function mutations in chromosomal genes nfsA, nfsB and ribE of Escherichia coli are known to reduce nitrofurantoin susceptibility. Here, we report the discovery of nitro...
