The RND family efflux pumps lead to multidrug resistance in most ofthe gram negative bacteria. One of the well- known pumps in M. catarrhalis is arcAB and oprMsystem. The objective of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance in M. catarrhalis andto determine its resistance dependence on the efflux pump.\u0000MethodsIn this study, 283 different respiratory tract infection samples processed out of that 73 were confirmedby biotyping and molecular characterization as a M. catarrhalis. The antibiotic susceptibility testswere performed by disc diffusion method according to CLSI. Molecular characterization formultidrug resistance isolates was also done along with genes responsible for efflux pumps. PCRwas done M. catarrhalis and acrAB and oprM genes. The factor for association of efflux pump withantibiotic resistance was investigated using phenylalanine argine β-naphthylamide.\u0000ResultsThe antibiotics susceptibility result showed 12 out of 73 isolates were MDR, selectively takenfor PCR using 16SrRNA specific primer.
