3 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
Multidrug efflux pumps are molecular machines that sit in the bacterial cell membrane and pump molecules out from either the periplasm or cytoplasm to outside the cell. While involved in a variety of biological roles, they are primarily known for their contribution to antibiotic resistance by limiting the intracellular accumulation of antimicrobial compounds within bacteria. These transporters are often...
