What Are the Common Types of Efflux Pumps?

Efflux pumps can be classified into several families based on their structure and function. The most notable ones include:
- Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS)
- ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporters
- Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND)
- Small Multidrug Resistance (SMR)
- Multidrug and Toxic Compound Extrusion (MATE) Family
Each of these families has unique mechanisms and affinities for different substrates, making the management of antibiotic resistance more complex.
