The farAB-encoded efflux pump mediates resistance of gonococci to long-chained antibacterial fatty acids.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Aug 1999

Lee E H, Shafer W M

Abstract excerpt

Gonococci often infect mucosal surfaces bathed in antibacterial fatty acids (FAs). Resistance of gonococci to FAs and other antibacterial hydrophobic agents has been attributed to the mtrCDE-encoded efflux pump system and a heretofore undefined mechanism. This alternative resistance mechanism has been suggested to mediate gonococcal resistance to long-chained FAs independently of the mtr efflux pump. We have now...
