Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We studied the importance of the efflux pump mechanisms in Salmonella spp. mutants with reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility generated in vitro. METHODS: The efflux pump was studied using MC-207,110 as an inhibitor of these systems. RESULTS: Wild strains with mutations in gyrA exhibit greater activity of the efflux pump systems than nalidixic-acid-susceptible strains (30-fold). When we evaluate the...
