Enterococcus faecium produces membrane vesicles containing virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance related proteins
30 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Enterococcus faecium is a commensal but also a bacteremia causing pathogen, which is inherently resistant to several antimicrobials and has a great ability to acquire new traits. Bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) are increasingly recognized as a mode of cell-free communication and a way to deliver virulence factors and/or antimicrobial resistance determinants. These features make MVs interesting research targets...
