Efflux pumps and membrane permeability contribute to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus is a pulmonary pathogen that exhibits intrinsic resistance to antibiotics, but the factors driving this resistance are incompletely understood. Insufficient intracellular drug accumulation could explain broad-spectrum resistance, but whether antibiotics fail to accumulate in M. abscessus and the mechanisms required for drug exclusion remain poorly understood. We measured antibiotic...
