Genome-Wide Assessment of Outer Membrane Vesicle Production in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
The production of outer membrane vesicles by Gram-negative bacteria has been well documented; however, the mechanism behind the biogenesis of these vesicles remains unclear.

Bacterial Membrane Vesicles: Physiological Roles, Infection Immunology, and Applications
Bacterial or fungal membrane vesicles, traditionally considered as microbial metabolic wastes, are secreted mainly from the outer membrane or cell membrane of microorganisms.

Outer Membrane Vesicle-Host Cell Interactions [PDF]
ABSTRACT Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanosized proteoliposomes derived from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They are ubiquitously produced both in culture and during infection and are now recognized to play crucial roles during host-microbe interactions.

The Xylella fastidiosa PD1063 protein is secreted in association with outer membrane vesicles.
Xylella fastidiosa is a gram-negative, xylem-limited plant pathogenic bacterium that causes disease in a variety of economically important agricultural crops including Pierce's disease of grapevines.

Phase I safety and immunogenicity study of a Brazilian serogroup B vaccine
Meningococcal disease by serogroup B has been a public health problem in Brazil in the last decades. The Brazilian Oswaldo Cruz Foundation has been working to develop a vaccine with detergent-treated outer membrane vesicles (OMV) and detoxified endotoxin

A novel mechanism for the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicles in Gram-negative bacteria
Bacteria release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that play important roles in pathogenesis and intercellular interactions. Here, Roier et al. provide evidence supporting that phospholipid accumulation in the outer leaflet of the outer membrane ...

Background: Gram-negative bacteria actively secrete outer membrane vesicles into the surrounding environment and these vesicles have been shown to play various physiological and protective roles such as carrying antibiotic-degrading enzymes and acting as

Outer membrane vesicle-based intranasal vaccines
Delivery of vaccines via the mucosal route is regarded as the most effective mode of immunization to counteract infectious diseases that enter via mucosal tissues, including oral, nasal, pulmonary, intestinal, and urogenital surfaces. Mucosal vaccines not only induce local immune effector elements, such as secretory Immunoglobulin A (IgA) reaching the ...
