The major non-selective porins in the outer membrane of E. coli. OmpF porin permeates larger molecules at a faster rate and is induced by nutrient starvation. OmpC excludes larger molecules including antibiotics and detergents, so reduces susceptibility. OmpC is expressed instead of OmpF under stressful conditions.
