Fosmidomycin transport through the phosphate‐specific porins OprO and OprP of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

What is it about?

The phosphate specific outer membrane channels OprP and OprO are overexpressed during Pseudomonas aeruginosa's infections. Here we show that they could serve as outer membrane pathways for the uptake of phosphonic acid containing antibiotics such as fosmidomycin.
