Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to examine the genetic variation occurring in the cmeB gene encoding the transporter component of the CmeABC efflux pump. METHODS: Expression of the CmeABC pump in 21 strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli was studied by western-blot analysis. MIC determination was conducted in the presence or absence of an efflux pump inhibitor (EPI). Inactivation of the cmeB...
