Correlation of Overexpression of Efflux Pump Genes with Antibiotic Resistance in<i>Escherichia coli</i>Strains Clinically Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection Patients
4 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli is one of the most common pathogens in urinary tract infections (UTIs), and antibiotic resistance in E. coli is becoming a serious problem in treating UTI. Efflux system overexpression is reported to contribute to E. coli resistance to several antibiotics. This study investigated the correlation of antibiotic susceptibilities with the overexpression of the efflux pump genes such as marA, yhiU,...
