A requirement of TolC and MDR efflux pumps for acid adaptation and GadAB induction in Escherichia coli.

BACKGROUND: The TolC outer membrane channel is a key component of several multidrug resistance (MDR) efflux pumps driven by H(+) transport in Escherichia coli. While tolC expression is under the regulation of the EvgA-Gad acid resistance regulon, the role of TolC in growth at low pH and extreme-acid...
