Ever-Adapting RND Efflux Pumps in Gram-Negative Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens: A Race against Time [PDF]
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

Functional interplay between RND efflux pumps and GacS in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyPseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that is ubiquitous in the environment. The environmental versatility of P. aeruginosa is often attributed to a large arsenal of active efflux pumps, low permeability of the outer membrane, and ...

Identification of binding residues between periplasmic adapter protein (PAP) and RND efflux pumps explains PAP-pump promiscuity and roles in antimicrobial resistance. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Active efflux due to tripartite RND efflux pumps is an important mechanism of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. These pumps are also essential for Gram-negative pathogens to cause infection and form biofilms.

Comprehensive analysis of resistance-nodulation-cell division superfamily (RND) efflux pumps from Serratia marcescens, Db10 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 We investigated the role of the resistance-nodulation-cell division superfamily (RND) efflux system on intrinsic multidrug resistance in Serratia marcescens. We identified eight putative RND efflux system genes in the S.
