Abstract excerpt
Previously, we found that the quorum sensing transcription factor SdiA up-regulates AcrAB. Others found that a 4-quinolone was a quorum-sensing signal in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In Escherichia coli, there are at least three multidrug transporters (AcrAB/TolC, MdfA, and NorE) that exude fluoroquinolones. Here, we show that DeltaacrAB, tolC210, or DeltanorE mutants have the same growth rate as WT cells in...
