Inactivation of the Mla system and outer-membrane phospholipase A results in disrupted outer-membrane lipid asymmetry and hypervesiculation in Bordetella pertussis
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of a respiratory infection known as whooping cough. With the goal of improving the production of outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs), we studied here the mechanisms that are involved in maintaining lipid asymmetry in the outer membrane of this organism. We iden...
