Abstract excerpt
Screening of a Tn5-Hg insertional library (12,000 clones) constructed in wild-type Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1 identified four genes (namely, galU, nuoG, mexZ, and rplY) whose disruption individually led to increased resistance to aminoglycosides (means of twofold). Inactivation of these genes was associated with (i) impaired outer membrane uptake, (ii) reduced active transport, (iii) increased...
