Expression analysis of 10 efflux pump genes in multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates
ConclusionOverexpression of EP genes can contribute to the emergence of a MDR phenotype in M. tuberculosis. Inhibition of EPs may provide a promising strategy for improving tuberculosis treatment outcomes in patients infected with M/XDR-TB isolates.
