- Research ArticlePmrC (EptA) and CptA Negatively Affect Outer Membrane Vesicle Production in Citrobacter rodentium
Although OMVs secreted by Gram-negative bacteria fulfill multiple functions, the molecular mechanism of OMV biogenesis remains ill defined. Our group has previously shown that PmrC (also known as EptA) and CptA maintain OM integrity and provide resistance to iron toxicity and antibiotics in the murine pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. In several enteric bacteria, these...
