Abstract excerpt
Multiple drug resistance (MDR) mechanisms are known to limit the effectiveness of some cancer chemotherapies, probably through enhancing P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux from mammalian cells. Similar mechanisms appear to act in other organisms, including bacteria, and may affect not only the toxicity but also the mutagenicity of certain chemicals. At least in some experimental situations, MDR can be overcome...
