Efflux pump proteins in antifungal resistance [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 It is now well-known that the enhanced expression of ATP binding cassette (ABC) and major facilitator superfamily (MFS) proteins contribute to the development of tolerance to antifungals in yeasts. For example, the azole resistant clinical isolates of the opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans show an overexpression of Cdr1p and/or ...

Roles of SmeYZ, SbiAB, and SmeDEF Efflux Systems in Iron Homeostasis of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a nonfermenting Gram-negative rod, is frequently isolated from the environment and is emerging as a multidrug-resistant global opportunistic pathogen. S.

Antibiotics, 2023 One promising approach in treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria is to “break” resistances connected with antibacterial efflux by co-administering efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) with antibiotics. Here, ten compounds, previously optimized to restore the susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (CIP) of norA-overexpressing Staphylococcus aureus, were evaluated for

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Vibrio cholerae VexH encodes a multiple drug efflux pump that contributes to the production of cholera toxin and the toxin co-regulated pilus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux systems are ubiquitous transporters that function in antimicrobial resistance. Recent studies showed that RND systems were required for virulence factor production in Vibrio cholerae. The V. cholerae genome

Using cellular fitness to map the structure and function of a major facilitator superfamily effluxer. [PDF]
, 2017 The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) effluxers are prominent mediators of antimicrobial resistance. The biochemical characterization of MFS proteins is hindered by their complex membrane environment that makes in vitro biochemical analysis challenging.

Sodium Benzoate is Associated with Salmonella Typhi Resistant to Chloramphenicol [PDF]
, 2016 Background: There are many factors that govern growth and resistant of Salmonella typhi. A study had reported that the use of sodium benzoate caused antibiotic resistant.
