Effect of OMVs derived from EUK (without or with anti-EF-Tu antibody neutralization) on CaOx crystal aggregation as determined by crystal aggregation-sedimentation assay. (A) Morphology of CaOx crystal aggregates occurred in each condition. (B) % CaOx crystal aggregation-sedimentation = [(A − T)]/A × 100, where A was the rate of reduction in the solution turbidity of the blank control and T was the rate of reduction in the solution turbidity under each of the OMVs conditions tested. Each bar represented mean ± SEM of the data obtained from three independent experiments.
