When overproduced, the multidrug efflux system MexEF-OprN increases the resistance of to fluoroquinolones, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim. In this work, we demonstrate that gain-of-function mutations in the regulatory gene result in oligomerization of the LysR regulator MexT, constitutive upregulation of the efflux pump, and increased resistance in clinical isolates.
当过度产生时,多药外排系统 MexEF-OprN 会增加 对氟喹诺酮类、氯霉素和甲氧苄啶的耐药性。在这项工作中,我们证明了调节基因 中的功能获得性突变导致 LysR 调节子 MexT 的寡聚化,外排泵的组成性上调,以及临床分离株的耐药性增加。
