Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nosocomial pathogens showing decreases or loss of porin synthesis are observed in combination with other resistance mechanisms, resulting in multidrug-resistant pathogens.In addition, the molecular size and lipophilic state affect the rate at which antibiotics traverse porins.
