An ace up their sleeve: a transcriptomic approach exposes the AceI efflux protein of Acinetobacter baumannii and reveals the drug efflux potential hidden in many microbial pathogens
The era of antibiotics as a cure-all for bacterial infections appears to be coming to an end.The emergence of multidrug resistance in many hospital-associated pathogens has resulted in superbugs that are effectively untreatable.Multidrug efflux pumps are well known mediators of bacterial drug resistance.Genome sequencing efforts have highlighted an
