Abstract

OMVs to facilitate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes, thereby enabling the survival of susceptible bacteria during antibiotic treatment. Investigating the roles of biofilm-derived BMVs may contribute to furthering our understanding of the role of BMVs in HGT and the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment.
