Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunist bacterium that is pathogenic for immunocompromised humans. It is very difficult to control the infections caused by this organism due to the formation of antibiotic-resistant biofilms. Multidrug-resistant strains often arise due to the presence of transferable parts in the genome of P. aeruginosa. Genomic changes and other factors affect the efflux pump systems, which function for the exclusion of toxic substances from the bacterial cells and confer antibiotic resistance. Out of many efflux pumps present in this bacterium, MexEF-OprN is responsible for conferring chloramphenicol resistance to P. aeruginosa. In this review article, the role of different factors, regulators, and signals which affect chloramphenicol resistance in P. aeruginosa are discussed.
