Draft:Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles; Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles; Bacterial outer membrane vesicle
Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are vesicles of lipids released from the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. These vesicles were the first bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) to be discovered, while Gram-positive bacteria release vesicles as well.
