Function and Inhibitory Mechanisms of Multidrug Efflux Pumps
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Multidrug efflux pumps are inner membrane transporters that export multiple antibiotics from the inside to the outside of bacterial cells, contributing to bacterial multidrug resistance (MDR). Postgenomic analysis has demonstrated that numerous multidrug

Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps at the Frontline of Antimicrobial Resistance: An Overview
Antibiotics, 2022 Multidrug efflux pumps function at the frontline to protect bacteria against antimicrobials by decreasing the intracellular concentration of drugs. This protective barrier consists of a series of transporter proteins, which are located in the bacterial ...

Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps: Much More Than Antibiotic Resistance Determinants
Microorganisms, 2016 Bacterial multidrug efflux pumps are antibiotic resistance determinants present in all microorganisms. With few exceptions, they are chromosomally encoded and present a conserved organization both at the genetic and at the protein levels.

Efflux pumps mediate changes to fundamental bacterial physiology via membrane potential [PDF]
mBio, 2023 Efflux pumps are well known to be an important mechanism for removing noxious substances such as antibiotics from bacteria. Given that many antibiotics function by accumulating inside bacteria, efflux pumps contribute to resistance.

Multidrug Efflux Pumps in Bacteria and Efflux Pump Inhibitors
Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2022 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

Role of efflux pumps, their inhibitors, and regulators in colistin resistance
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Colistin is highly promising against multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant bacteria clinically. Bacteria are resistant to colistin mainly through mcr and chromosome-mediated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis-related locus variation. However,
