Abstract excerpt
Several nalB-type multidrug-resistant mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa overexpressed MexAB-OprM and carried mutations in the local regulatory gene, mexR. Others, dubbed nalC types, carried mutations elsewhere and overexpressed MexAB-OprM less extensively than the nalB strains. Available evidence showed that MexR acted solely as repressor. Disruption of the mexR gene at various places suggested that the 5' end of...
