Exploring the contribution of efflux on the resistance to fluoroquinolones in clinical isolates of <it>Staphylococcus aureus</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Antimicrobial resistance mediated by efflux systems is still poorly characterized in <it>Staphylococcus aureus</it>, despite the description of several efflux pumps (EPs) for this bacterium. In this work we used several m...
