Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mex efflux pumps contribute to multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Evidencing their expression in clinical isolates would help in rationalizing antibiotic selection. METHODS: We have developed a combined phenotypic and genotypic approach for the differential diagnosis of resistance mediated by four major transporters (MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ, MexEF-OprN, MexXY-OprM). The methodology was...
