Expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa multidrug efflux pumps MexA-MexB-OprM and MexC-MexD-OprJ in a multidrug-sensitive Escherichia coli strain.
The mexCD-oprJ and mexAB-oprM operons encode components of two distinct multidrug efflux pumps in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To assess the contribution of individual components to antibiotic resistance and substrate specificity, these operons and their component genes were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Western immunoblotting confirmed expression of the P. aeruginosa efflux pump compone...
متن کاملInvestigation of MexAB-OprM efflux pump gene expression in clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from Intensive Care Unit
Background and Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important pathogens of nosocomial infections, especially in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit), which has resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, especially Carbapenems. Among the most important resistance mechanisms of this bacteria against carbapenems are MexAB-OprM efflux pump. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the g...
متن کاملEnhancement of the mexAB-oprM efflux pump expression by a quorum-sensing autoinducer and its cancellation by a regulator, MexT, of the mexEF-oprN efflux pump operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
nfxC-type cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that produce the MexEF-OprN efflux pump exhibit resistance to fluoroquinolones and chloramphenicol and hypersusceptibility to most classical beta-lactam antibiotics. We investigated the molecular mechanism of how the nfxC mutation causes beta-lactam hypersusceptibility. The MexAB-OprM extrusion pump transports and confers resistance to beta-lactam antib...
متن کاملDetection of Efflux Pumps Genes in Fluoroquinolones Resistant and Sensitive strains of Escherichia coli isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in Qom
Abstract Background and Objectives: Efflux pumps are one of the main mechanisms for antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli strains. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between 5 different efflux pump genes; acrA, acrB, emrA, emrB and mdtk and fluoroquinolone resistance in E.coli Isolated from patients with urinary tract infections in Qom. Methods: In this descriptive cr...

The ability of bacterial pathogens to infect and cause disease is dependent upon their ability to resist antimicrobial components produced by their host, such as bile acids, fatty acids and other detergent-like molecules, and products of the innate immune system (e.g. cationic antimicrobial peptides). Bacterial resistance to the antimicrobial effects of such compounds is often mediated by activ...
