Abstract excerpt
Multidrug efflux pumps contribute to the resistance of Escherichia coli against many antibiotics and biocides. Here, we report that the CRP regulator modulates multidrug resistance in E. coli through repression of the genes encoding the MdtEF multidrug efflux pump. Screening of mutants for ability to increase beta-lactam resistance in E. coli led to the identification of a mutation in crp, which codes for the...
