The <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> BpeAB-OprB Efflux Pump: Expression and Impact on Quorum Sensing and Virulence
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
BpeAB-OprB is a multidrug efflux pump of the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei and is responsible for conferring antimicrobial resistance to aminoglycosides and macrolides. Expression of bpeAB-oprB is inducible by its substrate erythromycin and upon entry into stationary phase. BpeR, a member of the TetR family, functions as a repressor of the bpeAB-oprB operon. bpeR expression was similarly induced at...
