The ABC-Type Efflux Pump MacAB Protects <named-content content-type="genus-species">Salmonella enterica</named-content> serovar Typhimurium from Oxidative Stress

ABSTRACT Multidrug efflux pumps are integral membrane proteins known to actively excrete antibiotics. The macrolide-specific pump MacAB, the only ABC-type drug efflux pump in Salmonella, has previously been linked to virulence in mice. The molecular mechanism of this link between macAB and infection...
