Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial pathogen which naturally secretes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cell envelope associated proteins into the environment through the production of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs).

Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively analyze the impact of O...
