Abstract excerpt
Polymyxins (polymyxin B and colistin) are last-line antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. Polymyxin resistance is increasing worldwide, with resistance most commonly regulated by two-component systems such as PmrAB and PhoPQ. This review discusses the regulatory mechanisms of PhoPQ and PmrAB in mediating polymyxin resistance, from receiving an external stimulus through to activation of...
