Abstract excerpt
Genetic data have suggested that TolC, AcrA and AcrB constitute a major antibiotic efflux system in Escherichia coli. Through reversion analysis of an unstable and antibiotic-sensitive TolC mutant (TolCP246R,S350C), we isolated extragenic suppressors that mapped within the acrRAB loci. DNA sequence analysis revealed that 18 isolates contained 10 different missense mutations within the acrA gene, whereas a single...
