Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii present a serious clinical challenge. The development of antibiotic resistance in this species is enabled by efflux pumps of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND) superfamily of proteins creating an efficient permeability barrier for antibiotics. At least three RND pumps, AdeABC, AdeIJK, and AdeFGH are encoded in the A. baumannii genome and are...
