Overexpression of the MtrC-MtrD-MtrE Efflux Pump Due to an mtrR Mutation Is Required for Chromosomally Mediated Penicillin Resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

The importance of the mtrCDE-encoded efflux pump in conferring chromosomally mediated penicillin resistance on certain strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was determined by using genetic derivatives of penicillin-sensitive strain FA19 bearing defined mutations (mtrR, penA, and penB) donated by a clinic...
