Efflux pumps as potential targets for biofilm inhibition. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolBiofilms account for a great deal of infectious diseases and contribute significantly to antimicrobial resistance. Efflux pumps confer antimicrobial resistance to microorganisms and involve multiple processes of biofilm formation. Efflux pump inhibitors (

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).

EFFLUX PUMPS AS A PHARMACOLOGICAL TARGET TO COMBAT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Медична наука України, 2023 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.

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,

Multidrug efflux pumps at the crossroad between antibiotic resistance and bacterial virulence
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Multidrug efflux pumps can be involved in bacterial resistance to antibiotics at different levels. Some efflux pumps are constitutively expressed at low levels and contribute to intrinsic resistance.

Ever-Adapting RND Efflux Pumps in Gram-Negative Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens: A Race against Time
Antibiotics, 2021 The rise in multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the greatest threats to human health worldwide. MDR in bacterial pathogens is a major challenge in healthcare, as bacterial infections are becoming untreatable by commercially available antibiotics. One of
