Antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Escherichia coli strains lacking multidrug efflux pump genes.
The contribution of seven known and nine predicted genes or operons associated with multidrug resistance to the susceptibility of Escherichia coli W3110 was assessed for 20 different classes of antimicrobial compounds that include antibiotics, antiseptics, detergents, and dyes. Strains were constructed with deletions for genes in the major facilitator superfamily, the resistance nodulation-cell...
متن کاملadeabc efflux pump genes in multidrug resistant acinetobacter baumannii isolates
conclusions adeabc efflux system plays a vital role in multidrug resistance in clinical a. baumannii isolates. it was noted that the most important gene responsible for multidrug resistance within this system was the adeb gene especially in carbapenems resistance. methods this study was conducted on 84 multidrug resistant and 13 carbapenem-susceptible a. baumannii isolates obtained from burn an...
متن کاملMultidrug Efflux Pumps of E. coli 215 AcrAB and Related Multidrug Efflux Pumps of Escherichia coli
The AcrAB system of Escherichia coli is a multidrug efflux system composed of an RND-type transporter AcrB and a periplasmic accessory protein AcrA, and pumps out a wide variety of lipophilic and amphiphilic inhibitors directly into the medium, presumably through the TolC outer membrane channel. AcrA, a highly elongated protein, is thought to bring the outer and inner membranes closer. It forms...
متن کاملEvaluation of Efflux pump activity among Uropathogenic Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia multiple- Drug Resistance isolates
Antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon in which antibiotic used to treat bacteria becomes useless due to resistance mechanism. Increased drug resistance and occurrence of Multiple Drug Resistance in bacteria specificity nosocomial and Urinary Tract Infection bacteria has reduced the possibilities of treating these infectious diseases. Efflux pumps are one of the major mechanism of MDR in bacteri...
متن کاملBypassing the periplasm: reconstitution of the AcrAB multidrug efflux pump of Escherichia coli.
AcrAB is a constitutively expressed, major multidrug efflux system of Escherichia coli. We have purified the cytoplasmic membrane component, AcrB, to near homogeneity, and reconstituted the protein into proteoliposomes. In the presence of DeltapH (outside acid), the protein catalyzed the extrusion of fluorescent phospholipids, which were then trapped by protein-free acceptor vesicles. Known sub...
