The bacterial genotoxicity test：issues to be considered in the performance of the test and their recent advances

摘要

cqvip:The bacterial genotoxicity test is widely used as an initial screening to determing the genotoxic potential of chemicals for hazard identification.Firstly,I will state about technical issues in the performance of the test,which may largely affect the results of the mutagenicity of test compounds of lead to low concordance with the results between inter-and intra-laboratories.The second issue of my speech will be a brief review on bacterial tester strains that are highly sensitive to the mutagenicity of particular classes of mutagens.These strains are often used to efficiently explore environmental mutagens and to study the mechanisms of mutagenesis.Finally,I will present our recent study on the use of human S9 fractions in the genotoxicity tests to comprehensively evaluate the genotoxic effect to humans.In addition,genetically-engineered tester strains expressing human drug-metabolizing enzymes will be introduced.
