Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) of Gram-negative Bacteria: A Perspective Update

Abstract: Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) of Gram-negative bacteria are spherical membrane-enclosed entities of endocytic origin. Reported in the consortia of different bacterial species, production of OMVs into extracellular milieu seems essential for their survival. Enriched with bioactive proteins, toxins, and virulence factors, OMVs play a critical role in the bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host interactions. Emergence of OMVs as distinct cellular entities helps bacteria in adaptating to diverse niches, in competing … Show more

New concepts in bacterial vesicular transport might be consistent the close evolutionary link between the eukaryotic RNA virus polymerases and bacterial retroelements (Jan, 2017;Kuehn and Kesty, 2005).…”

“…In addition to comprising parts of the membrane, OMVs are composed of bacterial proteins, LPS, fatty acids, nucleic acids, peptidoglycan fragments, fimbriae, adhesins, capsule, and species‐specific virulence factors, such as cytolethal distending toxin (CDT), leukotoxin (LtxA), and gingipain . Outer membrane vesicles are important both in bacteria–bacteria and bacteria–host interactions . They utilize multiple means to enter the host cells and deliver their cargo .…”
