Characteristic of cells that confers resistance to the effects of several different classes of drugs.
Note: There are several forms of drug resistance. Each is determined by genes that govern how cells will respond to chemical agents. One type of multidrug resistance involves the ability to eject several drugs out of cells (e.g., efflux pumps such as P-glycoprotein).
