Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to high levels of triclosan.Methods: Using the agar incorporation method and defined mutant strains, the contribution of multidrug efflux pumps to high-level (> 1000 mug/mL) triclosan resistance in P aeruginosa was assessed.Results: The results showed that the ability of P aeruginosa to survive in the presence of triclosan concentrations in excess of 1000 mug/mL is solely attributable to the expression of efflux pumps.
