Production of Membrane Vesicles by Enterococcus faecium Cultured With or Without Subinhibitory Concentrations of Antibiotics and Their Pathological Effects on Epithelial Cells

Production of Membrane Vesicles by Enterococcus faecium Cultured With or Without Subinhibitory Concentrations of Antibiotics and Their Pathological Effects on Epithelial Cells

Enterococcus faecium is a clinically important pathogen associated with opportunistic infection and multi-drug resistance. E. faecium has been shown to produce membrane vesicles (MVs), but MV production by E. faecium under antibiotic stress conditions and the pathogenic traits thereof have yet to be...
