| CARD Short Name | MexJK-OpmH |
| Definition | MexJK-OpmH is a triclosan efflux protein expressed in the Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MexJ is the membrane fusion protein, MexK is the inner membrane resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) transporter, and OpmH is the outer membrane efflux protein. MexJK is constitutively expressed in mexL mutants. |

Prevalence of MexJK-OpmH 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).
