The Role of Multidrug Efflux Pumps in the Antibiotic Resistance of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and Other Gram‐Negative Bacteria
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Gram-negative bacteria remain clinically important pathogens in both hospital and community settings. Recent research indicates that efflux pumps play a prominent role in the multidrug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and many other gram-negative bacteria. Four multidrug efflux pump systems have been well characterized in P. aeruginosa: MexA-MexB-OprM, MexC-MexD-OprJ, MexE-MexF-OprN, and MexX-MexY-OprM. These...
