ramR

Accession ARO:3000824
DefinitionRamR is a repressor that regulates RamA expression. Mutations lead to the upregulation of AcrAB, which is positively regulated by RamA.
AMR Gene Familyresistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) antibiotic efflux pump
Drug Classtetracycline antibiotic, penicillin beta-lactam, cephalosporin, disinfecting agents and antiseptics, phenicol antibiotic, rifamycin antibiotic, glycylcycline, fluoroquinolone antibiotic
Resistance Mechanismantibiotic efflux, antibiotic target alteration
Efflux Componentefflux pump complex or subunit conferring antibiotic resistance
Efflux Regulatorprotein(s) and two-component regulatory system modulating antibiotic efflux
