Just became open access at MMBR: Outer Membrane Vesicles: Biogenesis, Functions, and Issues by R Juodeikis & SR Carding How should we distinguish OMVs from other types of bacterial extracellular vesicles? #Microsky
FIG 1 Three different types of bacterial extracellular vesicles produced by Gram-negative organisms via nonlytic and lytic mechanisms. OMV, outer membrane vesicle; EOMV, explosive outer membrane vesicle; OIMV, outer inner membrane vesicle.
