Release of Staphylococcus aureus extracellular vesicles and their application as a vaccine platform
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) influence host-pathogen interactions, but EV biogenesis in gram-positive bacteria remains elusive. Here authors characterize EVs from Staphylococcus aureus and show that phenol-soluble modulins and autolysins promote EV biogenesis by disrupting the membrane and cell wall...
