Blogging for Bacteriphages is proud to announce an article by guest author, E. Ohneck, of Emory University. The Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND) family of efflux pumps is widely utilized, especially among Gram-negative bacteria, for the export of a diverse array of antim icrobial agents from the bacterial interior, making these efflux systems important in multidrug resistance (1). RND family pumps are composed of three parts: a transporter protein in the inner cytoplasmic membrane, an outer membrane protein channel, and an accessory protein that connects the two (1). The AcrAB-TolC efflux pump is one such efflux system found in multiple Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella ... Read Full Story

The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can ‘’switch on” production of molecules that kill white blood cells – preventing the bacteria being eliminated by the body’’s immune system, say researchers the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark. P. aeruginosa is responsible for many hospital-acquired infections and also causes chronic infections in those with pre-existing medical conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF). The bacteria cause persistent lung infections by clumping together to form a biofilm, which spreads over the lungs like a slime and are generally resistant to antibiotics as well as the host immune response. It was found that P. aeruginosa uses a ... Read Full Story
