Ethidium bromide transport across Mycobacterium smegmatis cell-wall: correlation with antibiotic resistance

BACKGROUND: Active efflux systems and reduced cell-wall permeability are considered to be the main causes of mycobacterial intrinsic resistance to many antimicrobials. In this study, we have compared the Mycobacterium smegmatis wild-type strain mc(2)155 with knockout mutants for porins MspA (the mai...
