Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria has been associated with efflux pumps that export structurally unrelated compounds and decrease cytoplasmic drug accumulation. To investigate MDR in mycobacteria, we studied the Mycobacterium smegmatis mutant mc(2)11, which is resistant to doxorubicin, tetracycline, rhodamine, ethidium bromide and the hydrophilic fluoroquinolones. A genomic library constructed from this...
