The ability of Acinetobacter baumannii to adhere to and persist on surfaces as biofilms could
be central to its pathogenicity. The production of pili and a biofilm-associated protein and the …

Pulmonary epithelial barrier dysfunction is a critical pathophysiological process in
pneumonia and associated invasive infections, such as those caused by Acinetobacter …

Outer membrane vesicle (OMV) release by Gram-negative bacteria has been observed and
studied for decades. First considered as a by-product of cell lysis, it soon became evident …

Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), one of the major pathogens that causes
severe nosocomial infections, is characterised by a high prevalence of drug resistance. It …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that are released from Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria
can serve as vehicles for the translocation of effectors involved in infectious processes. In …

All Gram-negative bacteria produce outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) which are minute
spherical structures emanating from the bacterial outer membrane. OMVs are primarily …

Bacterial infections can be aggravated by antibiotic treatment that induces SOS response
and vesiculation. This leads to a hypothesis concerning association of SOS with …

Gram-negative bacteria are intrinsically resistant to many commercialized antibiotics. The
outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria prevents the entry of such antibiotics. Outer …

This article reviews the role of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in mediating the interaction
between Gram-negative bacteria and their human hosts. OMVs are produced by a diverse …

As an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa must be able to
adapt and survive changes and stressors in its environment during the course of infection …
