An Original Deal for New Molecule: Reversal of Efflux Pump Activity, A Rational Strategy to Combat Gram-Negative Resistant Bacteria
1 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
The worldwide dissemination of «multi-drug resistant» (MDR) pathogens has severely reduced the efficacy of our antibiotic arsenal and increased the frequency of therapeutic failure. MDR bacteria over-express efflux pumps and this active mechanism can extrude all classes of antibiotics from the cell.
