Highlights•Prokaryotes release different types of membrane vesicles (MVs).•Both DNA and
RNA is present in some MVs.•MVs have been observed to mediate horizontal gene transfer.• …

Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) are bacterial nanoparticles that are spontaneously
released during growth both in vitro and in vivo by Gram-negative bacteria. They are …

Over the past two decades, researchers studying both microbial and host cell communities
have gained an appreciation for the ability of bacteria to produce, regulate, and functionally …

Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) are produced by all bacteria and facilitate a range of
functions in host-microbe interactions and pathogenesis. Quantification of BMVs is a critical …

Gram-negative bacteria release Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) into the extracellular
environment. Recent studies recognized these vesicles as vectors to horizontal gene …

Bacterial-derived RNA and DNA can function as ligands for intracellular receptor activation
and induce downstream signaling to modulate the host response to bacterial infection. The …

Bacterial cells communicate with host cells and other bacteria through the release of
membrane vesicles known as bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEV). BEV are established …

Recently, biological roles of extracellular vesicles (which include among others exosomes,
microvesicles and apoptotic bodies) have attracted substantial attention in various fields of …

Membrane vesicles are the nano-sized vesicles originating from membranes. The
production of membrane vesicles is a common feature among bacteria. Depending on the …
