Abstract
The Acinetobacter baumannii RND efflux pump AdeABC is regulated by the 2-component regulator AdeRS. In this study, we compared the regulation and expression of AdeABC of the reference strains ATCC 17978 and ATCC 19606. A clearly stronger efflux activity was demonstrated for ATCC 19606. An amino acid substitution at residue 172 of adeS was identified as a potential cause for differential expression of the pump. Therefore, we recommend caution with exclusively using single reference strains for research.Entities:
