Gene Transfer Potential of Outer Membrane Vesicles of Gram-Negative Bacteria

Gene Transfer Potential of Outer Membrane Vesicles of Gram-Negative Bacteria

The increasing spread of multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria is one of the major threats to public health worldwide. Bacteria can acquire antibiotic resistance and virulence genes through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). A novel horizontal gene transfer mechanism mediated by outer membrane vesicl...
