Identification of common DEGs in all MTZ-R T. vaginalis strains compared with the MTZ-S group treated with or without MTZ. Venn diagram showing the number of genes shared by three MTZ-R T. vaginalis strains (Tv_50142, Tv50143, and Tv30238) whose expression is upregulated (A) and downregulated (B) in comparison with three MTZ-S strains (Tv-30001, Tv-30236, and Tv50148). Upon MTZ treatment, the number of upregulated (C) and downregulated (D) genes among the identical MTZ-R strains in comparison with the MTZ-S strains were also analyzed. The gene expression patterns of DEGs in all MTZ-R strains compared with those of MTZ-S in the presence or absence of MTZ were analyzed by cluster analysis and shown as heatmaps. Genes shown in red and purple color indicate upregulation and downregulation, respectively. MA plots represent the expression levels (baseMean) and expression changes (log2 fold change in normalized counts values) in the corresponding DEGs.
