Bacterial outer membrane vesicles: New insights and applications
16 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) (∼50-250 nm in diameter) are produced by both pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria as a canonical end product of secretion. In this review, we focus on the OMVs produced by gram-negative bacteria. We provide an overview of the OMV structure, various factors regulating their production, and their role in modulating host immune response using a few representative examples. In light...
