Abstract excerpt
The gene mexR regulates negatively the expression of the MexA-MexB-OprM efflux pump in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and mutations in mexR cause a multiple antibiotic resistance phenotype. Five hundred and forty resistant clones of P. aeruginosa PAO503 were isolated after selection for resistance to chloramphenicol or tetracycline. All isolates showed similar phenotypes and were resistant to tetracycline,...
