The Two Faces of Bacterial Membrane Vesicles: Pathophysiological Roles and Therapeutic Opportunities

Bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) are nanosized lipid particles secreted by lysis or blebbing mechanisms from Gram-negative and -positive bacteria. It is becoming increasingly evident that MVs can promote antimicrobial resistance but also provide versatile opportunities for therapeutic exploitation....
