Drug efflux pump deficiency and drug target resistance masking in growing bacteria.
Recent experiments have shown that drug efflux pump deficiency not only increases the susceptibility of pathogens to antibiotics, but also seems to "mask" the effects of mutations, that decrease the affinities of drugs to their intracellular targets, on the growth rates of drug-exposed bacteria. That is, in the presence of drugs, the growth rates of drug-exposed WT and target mutated strains ar...
متن کاملErythromycin resistance by L4/L22 mutations and resistance masking by drug efflux pump deficiency.
We characterized the effects of classical erythromycin resistance mutations in ribosomal proteins L4 and L22 of the large ribosomal subunit on the kinetics of erythromycin binding. Our data are consistent with a mechanism in which the macrolide erythromycin enters and exits the ribosome through the nascent peptide exit tunnel, and suggest that these mutations both impair passive transport throu...
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 کاملFrequency of PGP and MRPA efflux pump genes in drug resistance in clinical isolates of Leishmania tropica and L. major
This study aimed to identify PGP and MRPA genes in clinical isolates of Leishmania. The genes of pgpa (MRPA) and mdr1 (PGP) are involved in the drug resistance, their products act as dependent transporters of ATP (ABC Transporter) in the reflux of drugs from the cytosol to the outer space of the cell. Hence, 40 volunteers with leishmaniasis were randomly selected. Firstly, Amastigotes were exam...
متن کاملEfflux pump-mediated intrinsic drug resistance in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
The Mycobacterium smegmatis genome contains many genes encoding putative drug efflux pumps. Yet with the exception of lfrA, it is not clear whether these genes contribute to the intrinsic drug resistance of this organism. We showed first by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR that several of these genes, including lfrA as well as the homologues of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv1145, Rv1146, Rv1877, R...
