Abstract

Elizabethkingia anophelis is a bacterium often associated with nosocomial infection. This study demonstrated that imipenem-induced E. anophelis outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are immunologically relevant and crucial for bacterial survival under antibiotic stress conditions rather than being a source of antibiotic resistance.
