Halogenated and metallic scaffolds as novel efflux pump inhibitors: mechanistic insight in overcoming antimicrobial and cross-domain resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing rapidly, necessitating the development of non-traditional therapeutic approaches. Overexpression of bacterial efflux pumps mediates active extrusion of drugs and is a major mechanism underlying multidrug resistance (MDR) in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens. Inh...
