Impact of antibiotics on membrane vesicle production in Group B Streptococcus by Macy E. Pell, Cole R. McCutcheon, Jennifer A. Gaddy, David M. Aronoff, Margaret G. Petroff, Shannon D. Manning

“…Increased abundance of antibiotic-specific protein targets was observed in the respective antibiotic-treated MVs, suggesting a mechanism for evading antibiotic-mediated killing. Together, these data suggest that antibiotic treatment alters both the production and composition of MVs, which can promote GBS survival in such conditions.IMPORTANCEGBS colonization during pregnancy can lead to invasive disease in neonates. …”
