Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps: Much More Than Antibiotic Resistance Determinants

Bacterial multidrug efflux pumps are antibiotic resistance determinants present in all microorganisms. With few exceptions, they are chromosomally encoded and present a conserved organization both at the genetic and at the protein levels. In addition, most, if not all, strains of a given bacterial s...
