Background Multidrug efflux pumps (MDR EPs) play a major role in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). NorA is one of the main native MDR EPs of Staphylococcus aureus, contributing to reduced susceptibility towards fluoroquinolones and biocides[1,2]. In S. aureus, its gene occurs in several allelic variants[3], but less is known about the occurrence of norA and other MDR EPs across the Staphylococcus...
