Article Synopsis
- Organochlorine pesticides, particularly p,p'-DDE and PCBs, were measured in unhatched common kestrel eggs from Tenerife, with findings showing a decline in p,p'-DDE levels since a previous study but still at concerning levels.
- The study also examined factors like embryo development, eggshell characteristics, and surroundings related to land use, revealing that higher p,p'-DDE was linked to cropland and urban areas while PCBs correlated with road proximity.
- Despite the ban on p,p'-DDT since 1986, the persistence of high p,p'-DDE levels in previously agricultural areas indicates ongoing ecological risks for local wildlife.
Efflux is an important mechanism of bacterial multidrug resistance (MDR), and the inhibition of MDR pumps by efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) could be a promising strategy to overcome MDR. 1-(1-Naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP) and phenylalanine-arginine-β-naphthylamide (PAβN) are model EPIs with activity in various Gram-negative bacteria expressing AcrB, the major efflux pump of Escherichia coli, or similar homologous pumps of the resistance-nodulation-cell division class. The aim of the present study was to generate E.
