Bordetella pertussis and outer membrane vesicles

Pathogens and Global Health, 2022
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of a respiratory infection called pertussis (whooping cough) that can be fatal in newborns and infants. The pathogen produces a variety of antigenic compounds which alone or simultaneously can damage various host cells.

Outer Membrane Vesicles: Biogenesis, Functions, and Issues

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2022
This review focuses on nonlytic outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), a subtype of bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) produced by Gram-negative organisms focusing on the mechanisms of their biogenesis, cargo, and function. Throughout, we highlight issues concerning the characterization of OMVs and distinguishing them from other types of BEVs.

Outer Membrane Vesicles

EcoSal Plus, 2005
Outer membrane vesicles (blebs) are produced by Escherichia coli , Salmonella , and all other gram-negative bacteria both in vitro and in vivo. Most of the research in the field has focused on the properties of vesicles derived from pathogenic bacteria and their interactions with eukaryotic ...

Immune modulation by bacterial outer membrane vesicles

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2015
Gram-negative bacteria shed extracellular outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) during their normal growth both in vitro and in vivo. OMVs are spherical, bilayered membrane nanostructures that contain many components found within the parent bacterium. Until recently, OMVs were dismissed as a by-product of bacterial growth; however, findings within the past ...

Neutralization of Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane vesicles

Inflammation Research, 2011
We aimed to determine the neutralization of Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane vesicles (blebs) by humoral and cellular elements of whole blood.The interaction of FITC-labeled blebs with monocytes was studied by spectrofluorometry. Blebs are able to induce an oxidative burst in neutrophils, and we evaluated the inhibitory effect of plasma on this ...

Biogenesis of Outer Membrane Vesicles

2012
The different steps involved in the formation and release of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from the parent bacteria as revealed by the experimental evidence and derived models presented by different investigators are discussed. An attempt has been made to develop a unified concept of the biogenesis of OMVs released by different Gram-negative bacteria.

Acinetobacter baumannii outer membrane protein a modulates the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicles

The Journal of Microbiology, 2012
Acinetobacter baumannii secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) during both in vitro and in vivo growth, but the biogenesis mechanism by which A. baumannii produces OMVs remains undefined. Outer membrane protein A of A. baumannii (AbOmpA) is a major protein in the outer membrane and the C-terminus of AbOmpA interacts with diaminopimelate of ...
