摘要: Abstract Until recently, metronidazole was the first-line treatment for Clostridioides difficile infection and it is still commonly used. Though resistance has been reported due to plasmid pCD-METRO, this does not explain all cases. Here, we investigate in a collection of clinical isolates C. difficile. We find that nearly demonstrate heme-dependent increase minimal inhibitory concentration metronidazole, which some cases leads being qualified as resistant (MIC > 2 mg/L). Moreover, whole genome sequence analysis reveals single nucleotide polymorphism heme responsive gene hsmA, defines lineage PCR ribotype 010 / multilocus type 15 also includes pCD-METRO containing strains. Together our data crucial medium-dependent
