Differential regulation of ponA and pilMNOPQ expression by the MtrR transcriptional regulatory protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae utilizes the mtrCDE-encoded efflux pump system to resist not only host-derived, hydrophobic antimicrobials that bathe mucosal surfaces, which likely aids in its ability to colonize and infect numerous sites within the human host, but also antibiotics that have been used clinically to treat infections. Recently, overexpression of the MtrC-MtrD-MtrE efflux pump was shown to be critically...
