Using a series of efflux mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the MexAB-OprM pump was identified as contributing to this organism's tolerance to the antimicrobial agent tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oil and its monoterpene components terpinen-4-ol, 1,8-cineole, and alpha-terpineol. These data show that a multidrug efflux system of P. aeruginosa can extrude monoterpenes and related alcohols.
利用一系列铜绿假单胞菌的外排突变体,MexAB - OprM泵被确定为该生物体对抗菌剂茶树(互叶白千层)油及其单萜成分萜品-4-醇、1,8-桉叶素和α-萜品醇具有耐受性的原因。这些数据表明,铜绿假单胞菌的多药外排系统可以排出单萜和相关醇类。
