The role of the Serratia marcescens SdeAB multidrug efflux pump and TolC homologue in fluoroquinolone resistance studied via gene-knockout mutagenesis
28 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Serratia marcescens is a prominent opportunistic nosocomial pathogen resistant to several classes of antibiotics. The major mechanism for fluoroquinolone resistance in various Gram-negative pathogens is active efflux. Our group previously identified SdeAB, a resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) efflux pump complex, and a TolC-like outer-membrane protein (HasF), which together mediate energy-dependent...
