Understanding multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacteria -- A study of a drug efflux pump AcrB and a periplasmic chaperone SurA

Multiple drug resistance (MDR) has been a severe issue in treatment and recovery from infection.Gram-negative bacteria intrinsically exhibit higher drug tolerance than Gram-positive microbes. In this thesis, two proteins involved in Gram-negative bacterial MDR were studied, AcrB and SurA. Resistance...
