Efflux‐mediated multidrug resistance is a well‐known phenomenon facilitated by resistant (MDR) transporters. One of the approaches to counteract efflux‐mediated use MDR pump inhibitors, and thus be used in combination with conventional antibiotics treat deadly diseases like typhoid fever. We have previously reported that STY4874, an efflux transporter Salmonella serotype Typhi, exhibited promising characteristics as pump. In this study, we aimed get insight into possible STY4874 inhibitors...
