Abstract
We cloned a gene, abeM , for a multidrug efflux pump from Acinetobacter baumannii using Escherichia coli as the host. Sequence analysis revealed that AbeM is a member of the MATE family of pumps. AbeM was found to be an H + -coupled multidrug efflux pump and a unique member of the MATE family.Keywords
