Subfunctionalization influences the expansion of bacterial multidrug antibiotic resistance
Abstract Background Antibiotic resistance is a major problem for human health. Multidrug resistance efflux pumps, especially those of the Resistance-Nodulation-Cell Division (RND) family, are major contributors to high-level antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Most bacterial genomes con...
