Role of the AheABC efflux pump in Aeromonas hydrophila intrinsic multidrug resistance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gene inactivation and complementation experiments showed that the tripartite AheABC efflux pump of Aeromonas hydrophila extruded at least 13 substrates, including nine antibiotics. The use of phenylalanine-arginine-beta-naphthylamide (PAbetaN) revealed an additional system(s) contributing to intrinsic resistance. This is the first analysis of the role of multidrug efflux systems in Aeromonas spp.

Abstract Background: Efflux systems are components of the bacterial membrane that play a role in homeostasis of the cell and extrusion of toxic compounds. Efflux pumps of the resistance nodulation cell division (RND) superfamily, confer multidrug resistance to their host when over-expressed. One of the RND efflux systems, is AdeABC which have been characterized for A. baumannii. Another pump be...

Target modification and reduced drug accumulation are the main resistance mechanisms against fluoroquinolone antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We performed a genotypic characterization of three major Mex multidrug efflux pumps (MexAB-OprM, MexXY-OprM and MexCD-OprJ) in ciprofloxacin resistant clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, collected from Tehran, Iran this was followed by sequencin...
