DefinitionMexAB-OprM efflux pump system with NalC mutations conferring resistance to aztreonam. While efflux gene hyperexpression typically results from mutations in the linked mexR repressor gene, it also occurs independently of mexR mutations in so-called nalC mutants that demonstrate more modest mexAB-oprM expression and, thus, more modest multidrug resistance than do mexR strains.

Resistomes

Prevalence of MexAB-OprM with NalC mutations conferring resistance to aztreonam among the sequenced genomes, plasmids, and whole-genome shotgun assemblies available at NCBI or IslandViewer for 414 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).

Model Name: MexAB-OprM with NalC mutations conferring resistance to aztreonam

Model Description: MexAB-OprM efflux pump system with NalC mutations conferring resistance to aztreonam. While efflux gene hyperexpression typically results from mutations in the linked mexR repressor gene, it also occurs independently of mexR mutations in so-called nalC mutants that demonstrate more modest mexAB-oprM expression and, thus, more modest multidrug resistance than do mexR strains.
