Our study was focused on the synthesis and evaluation of the efficiency of resistance–nodulation–division ( RND ) family efflux pump inhibitors. The efficiency of these inhibitors was investigated on S almonella enterica ser. typhimurium cells using tetraphenylphosphonium ( TPP + ) and ethidium cations as the efflux pump substrates. Results of our study indicated that efficiency of the inhibitors depends on the cell outer membrane permeability and method of the assay used. Temperature of the incubation medium and a solvent of the inhibitor used have only minor effect on results of the assay.Read More
