Multidrug Efflux Pumps in Bacteria and Efflux Pump Inhibitors
Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2022 Abstract Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a paramount health concern nowadays. The increasing drug resistance in microbes is due to improper medications or over usage of drugs. Bacteria develop many mechanisms to extrude the antibiotics entering the cell. The most prominent are the efflux pumps (EPs).

Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2022 Introduction: In the past decade, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most critical challenges in treating infected patients. The AdeABC efflux pump is the most important among the various resistance mechanisms. This pump

Flavonoids as Inhibitors of Bacterial Efflux Pumps [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Flavonoids are widely occurring secondary plant constituents, and are abundant in vegetable and fruit diets as well as herbal medicines. Therapeutic treatment options for bacterial infections are limited due to the spread of antimicrobial resistances.

A cell-based infection assay identifies efflux pump modulators that reduce bacterial intracellular load. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Bacterial efflux pumps transport small molecules from the cytoplasm or periplasm outside the cell. Efflux pump activity is typically increased in multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens; chemicals that inhibit efflux pumps may have potential for antibiotic ...

A mass spectrometry-based assay for improved quantitative measurements of efflux pump inhibition.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Bacterial efflux pumps are active transport proteins responsible for resistance to selected biocides and antibiotics. It has been shown that production of efflux pumps is up-regulated in a number of highly pathogenic bacteria, including methicillin ...
