Abstract excerpt
Multidrug transporters play key roles in cellular drug resistance to toxic molecules, yet these transporters are also involved in natural product transport as part of biosynthetic clusters in bacteria and fungi.

In the biosynthetic cluster is a multidrug and toxic compound extrusion...
