Can you give me details about efflux roles in resistance against biocides?

02 December 2018 1 10K Report

Please give me details about efflux roles in resistance against biocides. How efflux could perform their functions against biocides?

Sylvester Peter Antai

There is increasing evidence that the role of efflux pumps in antibiotic resistance in bacteria is significant......Selection of efflux mutants by biocides encountered in the environment is a potential concern; more work is needed to quantify the risk, if any, from such a process.
