Treatment with Sub-inhibitory Kanamycin Induces Adaptive Resistance to Aminoglycoside Antibiotics via the AcrD Multidrug Efflux Pump in Escherichia coli K-12

Research has shown that exposing Escherichia coli cells to sub-inhibitory concentrations of kanamycin induces adaptive resistance upon subsequent exposure to lethal levels of both structurally-similar and unrelated antibiotics. AcrD is an efflux pump that forms a complex with the...
