Distribution and Physiology of ABC-Type Transporters Contributing to Multidrug Resistance in Bacteria
1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Membrane proteins responsible for the active efflux of structurally and functionally unrelated drugs were first characterized in higher eukaryotes. To date, a vast number of transporters contributing to multidrug resistance (MDR transporters) have been reported for a large variety of organisms. Predictions about the functions of genes in the growing number of sequenced genomes indicate that MDR transporters are...
