MexVW-OprM

Accession ARO:3003029
CARD Short NameMexVW-OprM
DefinitionMexVW-OprM is a multidrug efflux protein expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MexV is the membrane fusion protein; MexW is the RND-type membrane protein; and OprM is the outer membrane channel. MexVW-OprM is associated with resistance to fluoroquinolones, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin and acriflavine.

Resistomes

Prevalence of MexVW-OprM among the sequenced genomes, plasmids, and whole-genome shotgun assemblies available at NCBI or IslandViewer for 413 important pathogens (see methodological details and complete list of analyzed pathogens). Values reflect percentage of genomes, plasmids, genome islands, or whole-genome shotgun assemblies that have at least one hit to the AMR detection model. Default view includes percentages calculated based on Perfect plus Strict RGI hits. Select the checkbox to view percentages based on only Perfect matches to AMR reference sequences curated in CARD (note: this excludes resistance via mutation as references in protein variant models are often wild-type, sensitive sequences).
