FIG 2.

Expression of efflux pump-encoding genes and fabI in Acinetobacter baumannii AB042. Expression of five RND pump-encoding genes (adeB, adeG, adeJ, A1S_2818, and A1S_3217), MATE pump-encoding abeM, and the enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] reductase gene fabI as measured by qRT-PCR compared with that in the parent strain, A. baumannii ATCC 17978. We used 16S rRNA as the housekeeping gene control. Error bars represent the standard errors of the mean. Significant change in expression is shown by an asterisk.
