Isolation, characterization and analysis of pro-inflammatory potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane vesicles

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are potent virulence factors, naturally secreted by gram-negative bacteria. Since Klebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, because of resistance to a wide spectrum of antibiotics, it is crucial to investigate its pathogenetic mechanism microorganism secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), but the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae as it relates to OMVs has not been well elucidated....
