Our previous study found that TolC inactivation compromised the resistance to different antimicrobials in porcine extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strain PPECC042 (WT). This study was designed to investigate the functional substitution of TolC by other outer membrane proteins (OMPs) with similar \u03b2-barrel structures in pumping out different antimicrobials.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this study, we found that over-expression of several OMPs with similar \u03b2-barrel structures, OmpX, OmpC, OmpN, OmpW, and PhoE, in the \u0394tolC strain restored the resistance to macrolides, quinolones, or tetracyclines to the level of WT strain. However, the introduction of any one of the five OMPs did not affect the resistance of the strains \u0394acrA, \u0394acrB, and \u0394acrA\u0394tolC. Further study revealed that the efflux activity was significantly reduced in the \u0394tolC strain, but not in the WT strain and the \u0394tolC strains over-expressing various OMPs. Additionally, Nile red dye test and ciprofloxacin accumulation test confirmed that the lost efflux activity and drug accumulation in bacterial periplasm by TolC inactivation was restored by the over-expression of each OMP, depending on the presence of genes acrA and acrB.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
