Dueling Regulatory Properties of a Transcriptional Activator (MtrA) and Repressor (MtrR) That Control Efflux Pump Gene Expression in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Neisseria gonorrhoeae</named-content>

ABSTRACT MtrA is a member of the AraC family of transcriptional regulators and has been shown to play an important role in enhancing transcription of the mtrCDE operon, which encodes a tripartite multidrug efflux pump, when gonococci are exposed to a sublethal level of antimicrobials. Heretofore, th...
