LC-QQQ-based assessment of the concentration of antibiotics following incubation with different doses of RC85+ or RC85 OMVs in a cell-free system. The initial concentrations were as follows: ampicillin, 20 μg/mL (a); cefoperazone, 5 μg/mL (b); and cefotaxime, 5 μg/mL (c). One microgram per milliliter or 10 μg/mL of RC85+ OMVs or 10 μg/mL of RC85 OMVs in sterilized PBS were mixed with ampicillin, cefoperazone, or cefotaxime. Filtered PBS containing the respective antibiotics without OMVs were used as a positive control and taken as 100%, and the corresponding concentrations of antibiotics in samples treated with RC85+ OMVs or RC85 OMVs were analyzed. All samples were incubated at 37 °C with shaking at 150 rpm, and diluted 20-fold for measurements. The concentrations of antibiotics were recorded at 18-h intervals for 36 h in triplicate. Bars indicate standard deviations. ****P < 0.0001.
