consisting of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that are released from the bacteria during its growth and contain a range of antigens. GMMAs have attracted a lot of interest for their potential to ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

which leads to disruption of the outer cell membrane, leakage of intracellular contents and bacterial death. The most common mechanisms of resistance to colistin are modifications to ...

We also demonstrated that upon spontaneous rupture of the limiting membrane of the MV-lEVs, their intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) escaped to the extracellular environment by a ‘torn bag mechanism’. We ...

Previous studies had suggested that intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) inside endosomal multivesicular bodies and amphisomes can be secreted by fusion of the compartment with the plasma membrane. The 'torn ...

The desiccated secretions obstruct the airways and prevent elimination of bacteria from the lung, permitting bacterial infection to become established. The resultant neutrophilic inflammation causes ...
