Antibiotic resistant iniC

Accession ARO:3003449
DefinitioniniC, an isoniazid-induced protein, is part of the iniBAC operon that participates in the development of tolerance to both isoniazid and ethambutol. May function through a MDR-pump like mechanism, although it does not appear to directly transport isoniazid from the cell.
Resistance Mechanismantibiotic efflux, antibiotic target alteration
Efflux Componentefflux pump complex or subunit conferring antibiotic resistance
