Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cell drug resistance can be due to the presence of active efflux pumps (AEP). Identification of yeast cells with a resistance phenotype is important either from a clinical, agricultural or biotechnological point of view. Rapid and reliable methods to detect AEP can be therefore very useful. METHODS: Some yeast cells change their staining by calcein-AM, BCECF-AM, rhodamine 123 and DiOC(5), when...
