A Pathogenic Potential of Acinetobacter baumannii-Derived Membrane Vesicles

A Pathogenic Potential of Acinetobacter baumannii-Derived Membrane Vesicles

Acinetobacter baumannii secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). A. baumannii OMVs deliver many virulence factors to host cells and then induce cytotoxicity and innate immune response. OMVs secreted from bacteria contribute directly to host pathology during A. baumannii infection.
