  2. Investigating The Functional Relationships Of RND Efflux Pumps In Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

    Halucha, Jamie NThe University of Western Ontario2017

    The RND superfamily of efflux pumps plays vital roles in the intrinsic defence mechanisms of bacterial pathogens. The staphylococci have two genes encoding RND transporters; farE, which promotes efflux of antimicrobial fatty acids, and an uncharacterized gene we have named femT. Although RND pumps …
