Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps: Much More Than Antibiotic Resistance Determinants [PDF]
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.

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 ...
