Identification of a virulence-associated protein homolog gene and ISRa1 in a plasmid of Riemerella anatipestifer.

abstract：:Multidrug efflux pumps contribute to multiple antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pump expression usually has been quantified by Western blotting. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction has been developed to measure mRNA expression for genes of interest. Whether this method correlates with pump ...
