Survival under Infection-Associated Stresses Depends on the Expression of Resistance-Nodulation-Division and Major Facilitator Superfamily Efflux Pumps.

Multidrug efflux transporters are major contributors to the antibiotic resistance of in clinical settings. Previous studies showed that these transporters are tightly integrated into the physiology of and have diverse functions. However, for many of the efflux pumps, such functions remain poorly defined.
