The efflux of antibiotics is a growing concern in regards to antibiotic resistance, necessitating its study in biomedical research. Inactivation of a gene encoding for a transcriptional regulator of a novel multi-drug resistance efflux system in C. crescentus results in an increase in resistance to a broad range of antibiotics. Other genes involved in this system have also been identified and are currently being studied for their role in bacterial efflux.
