Thioridazine and chlorpromazine inhibition of ethidium bromide efflux in Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract

M. avium and M. smegmatis intrinsic resistance is affected by EPIs such as thioridazine or chlorpromazine, an effect that might be important in research and development of new, more effective antimycobacterial therapies.
