MdfA, an Escherichia coli multidrug resistance protein with an extraordinarily broad spectrum of drug recognition

1 Apr 1997

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug resistance (MDR) translocators recently identified in bacteria constitute an excellent model system for studying the MDR phenomenon and its clinical relevance. Here we describe the identification and characterization of an unusual MDR gene (mdfA) from Escherichia coli. mdfA encodes a putative membrane protein (MdfA) of 410 amino acid residues which belongs to the major facilitator superfamily of...
