Quantitative assessment of porin-mediated solute transport in biomimetic membranes [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and BiotechnologyPorins govern nutrient uptake and antibiotic influx in Gram-negative bacteria, making their characterization critical for understanding permeability, resistance mechanisms, and structure-function relationships. From a biotechnological point of view, they

Outer membrane permeability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa through β-lactams: new evidence on the role of OprD and OpdP porins in antibiotic resistance [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumGram-negative bacteria are a major concern for public health, particularly due to the continuous rise of antibiotic resistance. A major factor that helps the development of resistance is the outer membrane that is essential since it acts as a strong ...

Antibiotics and phages drive region-specific diversity of OmpK36 in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
mBioThe Enterobacterales outer membrane is impermeable to many antibiotics, but they can enter the cell via channel proteins, called porins. In Klebsiella pneumoniae, the porin OmpK36 is a major determinant of antibiotic resistance.

Outer Membrane Porins Contribute to Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2023 Gram-negative bacteria depend on their cell membranes for survival and environmental adaptation. They contain two membranes, one of which is the outer membrane (OM), which is home to several different outer membrane proteins (Omps).

A Barrier to Entry: Examining the Bacterial Outer Membrane and Antibiotic Resistance
Applied Sciences, 2023 Gram-negative bacteria can resist antibiotics by changing the permeability via their outer membrane. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that incorporates an outer membrane separating the periplasm from the external environment.

Roles of the EnvZ/OmpR Two-Component System and Porins in Iron Acquisition in
mBio, 2020 Escherichia coli secretes high-affinity Fe3+ chelators to solubilize and transport chelated Fe3+ via specific outer membrane receptors. In microaerobic and anaerobic growth environments, where the reduced Fe2+ form is predominant, ferrous transport ...
