Inhibition of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis reserpine-sensitive efflux pump augments intracellular concentrations of ciprofloxacin and enhances susceptibility of some clinical isolates
Active efflux is known to play a major role in the resistance of many bacteria to antibiotics. To evaluate the possibility of overcoming resistance by suppressing the efflux, we determined the effect of reserpine, an efflux pump inhibitor. Methods: Intracellular accumulations and the minimal inhibit...
