Coexistence of Virulence Factors and Efflux Pump Genes in Clinical Isolates of < em > Pseudomonas aeruginosa < /em > : Analysis of Biofilm-Forming Strains from Iran

Conclusions. In this study, we suggested that the presence of a multidrug resistance efflux pump, MexEF-OprN, significantly reduced P. aeruginosa pathogenicity. In contrast, the presence of the MexAB-OprM and MexCD-OprJ pumps did not affect virulence.PMID:34093708 | PMC:PMC8163533 | DOI:10.1155/2021/5557361
