• Function: Efflux pump that contributes to intrinsic antibiotic resistance. The pump uses the electrochemical gradient as a source of energy. Confers low-level resistance to tetracycline and to several aminoglycosides, including streptomycin, gentamicin, 2'-N-ethylnetilmicin and 6'-N-ethylnetilmicin.

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Irregularity in Drug Uptake and Drug Efflux (IDUE)

Disease Class: Bacterial infection [1], [2]

• Resistant Disease: Bacterial infection [ICD-11: 1A00-1C4Z]
• Resistant Drug: Ofloxacin
• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Up-regulation
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv; 83332
• In Vitro Model: Mycobacterium tuberculosis ICC154; 1773
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Whole genome sequence assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: MIC assay
• Mechanism Description: One mechanism proposed for drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is by efflux of the drugs by membrane located pumps.Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate with a distinct genomic identity overexpresses a tap-like efflux pump,which confers resistance to Rifampin and Ofloxacin.
