Fig. 2. Relationship between adeJ pump gene expression and resistance to each antibiotics. Relative expression of adeJ efflux pump gene in non-susceptible (NS) group was higher than that of susceptible (S) group to each antibiotics in general. The statistically significant difference was found between S and NS groups to cefepime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, tigecycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, respectively. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001. The error bars represent the standard error of the mean.

Relative expression of the adeJ efflux pump gene determined by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR in A. baumannii type strain (ATCC19606), multidrug resistant A. baumannii AYE strain, 70 strains of multidrug resistant A. baumannii (MDRAB) and 30 strains of non-MDRAB clinical isolates. The normalized expression of adeJ was calibrated with the expression of A. baumannii ATCC 19606. The error bars represent the standard error of the mean. *P < 0.05.
