Microbial Primer: Multidrug efflux pumps. [PDF]
Microbiology (Reading), 2023 Multidrug efflux pumps are molecular machines that sit in the bacterial cell membrane and pump molecules out from either the periplasm or cytoplasm to outside the cell. While involved in a variety of biological roles, they are primarily known for their contribution to antibiotic resistance by limiting the intracellular accumulation of antimicrobial ...

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).

Evaluation of Delafloxacin against a Burkholderia pseudomallei Efflux Mutant Panel
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 In vitro activities of delafloxacin and ciprofloxacin were evaluated against Burkholderia pseudomallei mutants expressing or lacking defined resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) efflux pumps using CLSI methodology at pHs of 5.8 and 7.2. Delafloxacin

Genome-Wide Transposon Screen of a Pseudomonas syringae mexB Mutant Reveals the Substrates of Efflux Transporters. [PDF]
, 2019 Bacteria express numerous efflux transporters that confer resistance to diverse toxicants present in their environment. Due to a high level of functional redundancy of these transporters, it is difficult to identify those that are of most importance in ...

Versatility of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: Ecological roles of RND efflux pumps
Heliyon, 2023 S. maltophilia is a widely distributed bacterium found in natural, anthropized and clinical environments. The genome of this opportunistic pathogen of environmental origin includes a large number of genes encoding RND efflux pumps independently of the ...

Antisense PNA accumulates in Escherichia coli and mediates a long post-antibiotic effect [PDF]
, 2007 Antisense agents that target growth-essential genes display surprisingly potent bactericidal properties. In particular, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers linked to cationic carrier peptides are effective in time kill ...

Efflux Pump Inhibitors against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Over the last years, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as important human pathogens. Infections caused by NTM are often difficult to treat due to an intrinsic multidrug resistance for the presence of a lipid-rich outer membrane, thus encouraging an urgent need for the development of new drugs for the treatment of mycobacterial infections ...
