In this study, a chromosomally encoded putative drug efflux pump of the SMR family, named AbeS, from a multidrug-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii was characterized to elucidate its role in antimicrobial resistance. Expression of the cloned abeS gene in hypersensitive Escherichia coli host KAM32 resulted in decreased susceptibility to various classes of antimicrobial agents, detergents, and dyes. Deletion of the abeS gene in A. baumannii confirmed its role in conferring resistance to these compounds.
在这项研究中,从一株多药耐药鲍曼不动杆菌中鉴定出一种染色体编码的 SMR 家族假定药物外排泵 AbeS,以阐明其在抗菌药物耐药性中的作用。在敏感的大肠杆菌宿主 KAM32 中表达克隆的 abeS 基因导致对各种类别的抗菌药物、去污剂和染料的敏感性降低。在鲍曼不动杆菌中缺失 abeS 基因证实了其在赋予这些化合物耐药性中的作用。
