Role of efflux pumps in reduced susceptibility to tigecycline in Acinetobacter baumannii
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important human pathogen responsible for a various type of infections. These bacterial strains are generally resistant to numerous antibiotics.

Effects of efflux pumps on antifungal activity of chitosan against Candida albicans [PDF]
Background Antifungal resistance is a major problem, commonly caused by drug-efflux pump overexpression. To evaluate if chitosan could be effective in drug-resistant Candida infections, we investigated the effects of efflux pumps on antifungal activity ...

Role of Efflux Pumps on Antimicrobial Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Antimicrobial resistance is an old and silent pandemic. Resistant organisms emerge in parallel with new antibiotics, leading to a major global public health crisis over time.

EFFLUX PUMPS AS A PHARMACOLOGICAL TARGET TO COMBAT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Backround. Antibiotic resistance is the resistance of bacteria to antimicrobial drugs to which they were previously sensitive. A particular danger is the spread of multidrug-resistant healthcare-associated infections of "ESKAPE" group.

Physiological Functions of Bacterial "Multidrug" Efflux Pumps.
Bacterial multidrug efflux pumps have come to prominence in human and veterinary pathogenesis because they help bacteria protect themselves against the antimicrobials used to overcome their infections.
