Abstract excerpt
Low-level resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to toxic hydrophobic agents (HAs), including some antibiotics, is chromosomally mediated via the multiple transferable resistance (mtr) efflux system. The gene encoding the 48:3 kDa outer-membrane protein MtrE, which is associated with the mtr phenoty...
