Whakaihu Waka researchers have been part of two studies in the battle against drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of tuberculosis.

Researchers discovered that a mutation in a key regulatory gene triggers Mycobacterium abscessus to overproduce an antibiotic ...

These proteins are part of a shuttling mechanism that bacteria use to pump out a wide ... The MacAB-TolC complex, known as a multidrug efflux pump, spans the cell’s inner and outer membranes ...

By modifying these "efflux pumps" to recognize the antibiotic, bacteria can eliminate the drug before it poisons them. The result, in other words, is a two-pronged attack, says Michael Hochberg ...

By modifying these “efflux pumps” to recognize the antibiotic, bacteria can eliminate the drug before it poisons them. As it turns out, some phages appear to use these same efflux pumps to ...

For example, structures called "efflux pumps" in the cell membrane allow bacterial cells to pump out antibiotics that get inside the cell. Bacterial cells can also make enzymes that chemically ...
