Antibiotic resistance in is a serious concern in healthcare systems. Among the determinants of antibiotic resistance in , efflux pumps belonging to the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) family confer resistance to a broad range of antibacterial compounds. The MexXY efflux system is widely overexpressed in isolates from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. MexXY can form functional complexes with two different outer membrane factors (OMFs), OprA and OprM. In this study, using state-of-the-art genetic tools, the substrate specificities of MexXY-OprA and MexXY-OprM complexes were determined. Our results show, for the first time, that the substrate profile of the MexXY system from PA7 can vary depending on which OM... More
