Abstract excerpt
Gram-negative bacteria possess resistance nodulation cell division (RND)-type drug efflux transporters in the inner membrane that confer a high degree of intrinsic resistance to various drugs. Escherichia coli expresses the most powerful RND-type drug efflux transporter, AcrB, which extrudes various chemical compounds, including antibiotics, by forming a complex with the periplasmic membrane fusion protein AcrA...
