Abstract excerpt
The mtr (multiple transferable resistance) system of Neisseria gonorrhoeae determines levels of gonococcal resistance to hydrophobic agents (HAs), including detergent-like fatty acids and bile salts that bathe certain mucosal surfaces. The genetic organization of the mtr system was determined and found to consist of the mtrR gene, which encodes a transcriptional regulator (MtrR), and three tandemly linked genes...
