outer membrane protein
Overview
AbuO, a TolC-like outer membrane protein of Acinetobacter baumannii, is involved in antimicrobial and oxidative stress resistance.
AbuO, a TolC-like outer membrane protein of Acinetobacter baumannii, confers resistance to multiple antibiotics and disinfectants.
Biocide-tolerance and antibiotic-resistance in community environments and risk of direct transfers to humans: Unintended consequences of community-wide surface disinfecting during COVID-19?
The paper discusses the mechanisms of biocide tolerance and antibiotic resistance in bacteria, highlighting the role of mutations, horizontal gene transfer, efflux pumps, membrane alterations, and biofilms in developing resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics. It emphasizes the risks posed by the extensive use of disinfectants during the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for increased antimicrobial resistance.
Resistance mechanisms of tigecycline in Acinetobacter baumannii.
The study identifies several efflux pumps, outer membrane permeability alterations, and antibiotic target modifications as key mechanisms of tigecycline resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii.
