Outer Membrane Vesicles Derived from <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Are a Driving Force for Horizontal Gene Transfer

Gram-negative bacteria release Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) into the extracellular environment. Recent studies recognized these vesicles as vectors to horizontal gene transfer; however, the parameters that mediate OMVs transfer within bacterial communities remain unclear. The present study highlig...
