Illustration of three of the multidrug resistance transporters that bacteria have evolved to pump antibiotics and other harmful substances out of their cells. At left and right are the inner membrane proteins Sav1866, which is ATP-powered, and EmrD, which is a simpler proton-dependent pump. At centre is an AcrB-TolC complex composed of the outer membrane channel protein TolC (top centre), two periplasmic adaptor proteins AcrA (centre left and right) and the inner membrane pump AcrB (lower centre).
