A microfluidic device for simple and rapid evaluation of multidrug efflux pump inhibitors

Recently, multidrug resistant pathogens have disseminated widely owing essentially to their increased multidrug efflux pump activity. Presently, there is a scarcity of new antibacterial agents, and hence, inhibitors of multidrug efflux pumps belonging to the resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND)...
