Vancomycin-induced biofilm formation by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is associated with the secretion of membrane vesicles

This study first demonstrates a potential role of MVs in the biofilm formation by S. aureus, stresses on the importance of avoiding low dose of antibiotic therapy in controlling of S. aureus infections, and provides further information to reveal the mechanisms behind MRSA infections.
