Abstract

This chapter reviews current knowledge on the structure and function of the AcrAb-TOlC efflux pump of Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Relevant effects of phenothiazines on the genes that regulate and encode this pump mechanism, as well as on the pump itself, are also described. Future perspectives in relation to this important efflux pump found in drug-resistant bacterial pathogens are discussed.
