FIGURE 1: Known classes of multidrug efflux pumps in S. aureus. Multidrug efflux pumps identified in S. aureus are categorized into five families of membrane proteins: ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily, major facilitator superfamily (MFS), multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) family, small multidrug resistance (SMR) family and FarE, a resistance -nodulation division (RND) type efflux pumps.
