Extracellular vesicle production by oral bacteria related to dental caries and periodontal disease: role in microbe-host and interspecies interactions

Abstract excerpt

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell membrane-derived structures between 20-400 nm in size. In bacteria, EVs play a crucial role in molecule secretion, cell wall biogenesis, cell-cell communication, biofilm development, and host-pathogen interactions. Despite these increasing reports of bacterial-derived vesicles, there remains a limited number of studies that summarize oral bacterial EVs, their cargo, and their...
