Reciprocal cross-species induction of outer membrane vesicle biogenesis via secreted factors.

Abstract excerpt

Delivery of cargo to target cells is fundamental to bacterial competitiveness. One important but poorly understood system, ubiquitous among Gram-negative organisms, involves packaging cargo into outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). These biological nanoparticles are involved in processes ranging from toxin delivery to cell-cell communication. Despite this, we know comparatively little about how OMVs are formed....
