MexXY-OprM

Accession ARO:3003032
CARD Short NameMexXY-OprM
DefinitionMexXY-OprM is a multidrug efflux protein expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MexY is the membrane fusion protein; MexX is the RND-type membrane protein; and OprM is the outer membrane channel. MexXY-OprM is associated with resistance to acriflavine, erythromycin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin. The efflux system may also be involved in acquisition of higher resistance, in particular when bacteria are repeatedly exposed to subinhibitory doses of AGs.

Resistomes

Prevalence of MexXY-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).

Detection Models

Model Name: MexXY-OprM

Model Description: MexXY-OprM is a multidrug efflux protein expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MexY is the membrane fusion protein; MexX is the RND-type membrane protein; and OprM is the outer membrane channel. MexXY-OprM is associated with resistance to acriflavine, erythromycin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin. The efflux system may also be involved in acquisition of higher resistance, in particular when bacteria are repeatedly exposed to subinhibitory doses of AGs.

OprMmexXmexYMexZ

Model Name: MexXY

Model Description: MexXY requires an outer membrane protein to function, however, it is unclear which outer membrane protein it is most commonly associated with. This model has been created to detect MexXY and the repressor MexZ, leaving the outer membrane protein to be variable.
