Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant mutants ofPseudomonas aeruginosathat overproduce the active efflux system MexEF-OprN (callednfxCmutants) have rarely been characterized in the hospital setting. Screening of 221 clinical strains exhibiting a reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (a substrate of MexEF-OprN) and imipenem (a substrate of the negatively coregulated porin OprD) led to the identification of 43 (19.5%)nfxCmutants....
