ABSTRACT:
Nucleic acids and polypeptides involved in regulation of membrane permeability in bacteria are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of increasing sensitivity to antibiotics in multi-drug resistant bacteria by increasing expression of PprA or PprB proteins in bacterial cells, and methods for identifying compounds that modulate PprA/PprB expression.
