Microbicides Alter the Expression and Function of RND-Type Efflux Pump AdeABC in Biofilm-Associated Cells of Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates.

abstract：:Clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases or plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases were screened for qnrA and qnrB genes. QnrB was present in 54 of 54 DHA-1-producing K. pneumoniae isolates and 10 of 45 SHV-12-producing ones, suggesting that the distrib...
