Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nano‐sized compartments consisting of a
lipid bilayer that encapsulates periplasm‐derived, luminal content. OMVs, which pinch off of …

Bacterial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and are increasingly
problematic to treat due to the rise in antibiotic-resistant strains. It becomes more and …

Bacterial pathogens use effector proteins to manipulate their hosts to propagate infection.
These effectors divert host cell signaling pathways to the benefit of the pathogen and …

The initial binding of bacteria to host cells is crucial to the delivery of virulence factors and
thus is a key determinant of the pathogen's success. We report a multivalent adhesion …

Vibrio spp. are associated with infections caused by contaminated food and water. A type III
secretion system (T3SS2) is a shared feature of all clinical isolates of V. parahaemolyticus …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanosized proteoliposomes derived from the outer
membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They are ubiquitously produced both in culture and …

Evolving under the constant exposure to an abundance of diverse microbial life, the human
body has developed many ways of defining the boundaries between self and non-self. Many …

The Tol system is a five‐protein assembly parasitized by colicins and bacteriophages that
helps stabilize the Gram‐negative outer membrane (OM). We show that allosteric signalling …

The ability of a pathogen to rapidly form a stable interaction with the host cell surface is key
to its success. Bacterial pathogens use a repertoire of virulence factors, but their efficient use …

Outer membrane vesicles are nano-sized microvesicles shed from the outer membrane of
Gram-negative bacteria and play important roles in immune priming and disease pathogenesis…
