Multidrug Efflux Pumps in Bacteria and Efflux Pump Inhibitors
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

Crystal structure of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae MtrD inner membrane multidrug efflux pump. [PDF]
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an obligate human pathogen and the causative agent of the sexually-transmitted disease gonorrhea. The control of this disease has been compromised by the increasing proportion of infections due to antibiotic-resistant strains ...

The nature and epidemiology of OqxAB, a multidrug efflux pump. [PDF]
Background OqxAB efflux pump has been found to mediate multidrug resistance (MDR) in various bacteria over the past decades. The updates on the nature and epidemiology of OqxAB efflux pump need to be fully reviewed to broaden our understanding of this ...

Microbial Primer: Multidrug efflux pumps [PDF]
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.

Physiological Functions of Bacterial “Multidrug” Efflux Pumps [PDF]
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. However, it is increasingly realized that many, probably most, such pumps have physiological roles that are distinct from protection of bacteria against

Interplay between three RND efflux pumps in doxycycline-selected strains of Burkholderia thailandensis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Efflux systems are involved in multidrug resistance in most Gram-negative non-fermentative bacteria. We have chosen Burkholderia thailandensis to dissect the development of multidrug resistance phenotypes under antibiotic pressure ...
