<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> AcrAB exports some β-lactam antibiotics in the periplasm out of cells via an outer-membrane channel, TolC. It has been reported that eight drug transporters in <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> cooperate with TolC. In this study, the roles of the drug exporters of <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> in β-lactam resistance were examined. We found that five of five resistance-nodulation-cell division-type drug exporters confer β-lactam antibiotic resistance, while no other drug exporters confer any β-lactam resistance even when they cooperate with TolC. </jats:p>
