Role of efflux pump inhibitor in decreasing antibiotic cross-resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a burn hospital in Iran [PDF]
Introduction: Multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be due to efflux pump overexpression. This study phenotypically examined the role of efflux pump inhibitors in decreasing antibiotic cross-resistance between beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones,

Nilotinib concentration in cell lines and primary CD34+ chronic myeloid leukemia cells is not mediated by active uptake or efflux by major drug transporters [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate and nilotinib are highly effective at eradicating the majority of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells; however, neither agent induces apoptosis of primitive CML CD34<sup>+</sup> cells.

Interplay between three RND efflux pumps in doxycycline-selected strains of Burkholderia thailandensis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Efflux systems are involved in multidrug resistance in most Gram-negative non-fermentative bacteria. We have chosen Burkholderia thailandensis to dissect the development of multidrug resistance phenotypes under antibiotic pressure ...

A cell-based infection assay identifies efflux pump modulators that reduce bacterial intracellular load. [PDF]
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 ...

Association between proton pump inhibitor therapy and clostridium difficile infection: a contemporary systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Introduction Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) acid-suppression therapy is associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
