Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major problems in current practical medicine. The
spread of genes coding for resistance determinants among bacteria challenges the use of …

In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of
intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity …

Bacterial outer membrane vesicle (OMV)-mediated delivery of proteins to host cells is an
important mechanism of host-pathogen communication. Emerging evidence suggests that …

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) functions as a channel that
regulates the transport of ions and the movement of water across the epithelial barrier …

Contact lenses represent a widely utilized form of vision correction with more than 140
million wearers worldwide. Although generally well-tolerated, contact lenses can cause …

Over the past two decades, researchers studying both microbial and host cell communities
have gained an appreciation for the ability of bacteria to produce, regulate, and functionally …

Clinical observations link respiratory virus infection and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
colonization in chronic lung disease, including cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive …

Recently, the interest in extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by pathogens like bacteria,
fungi, and parasites has rapidly increased. Many of these pathogens actively modulate the …

Biogenesis and trafficking of membrane vesicles are essential and well-studied processes in
eukaryotes. In contrast, vesiculation in bacteria is not well understood. Outer membrane …
