Abstract
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) (∼50-250 nm in diameter) are produced by both pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria as a canonical end product of secretion. In this review, we focus on the OMVs produced by gram-negative bacteria. We provide an overview of the OMV structure, various factors regulating their production, and their role in modulating host immune response using a few representative examples. In light of the importance of the diverse cargoes carried by OMVs, we discuss the different modes of their entry into the host cell and advances in the high-throughput detection of these OMVs. A conspicuous application of OMVs lies in the field of vaccination; we discuss its success in immunization against human diseases such as pertussis, meningitis, shigellosis and aqua-farming endangering diseases like edwardsiellosis.

Molecular Membrane Biology provides a forum for high quality research that serves to advance knowledge in molecular aspects of biological membrane structure and function. The journal welcomes submissions of original research papers and reviews in the following areas:
• Membrane receptors and signalling
• Membrane transporters, pores and channels
• Synthesis and structure of membrane proteins
• Membrane translocation and targeting
• Lipid organisation and asymmetry
• Model membranes
• Membrane trafficking
• Cytoskeletal and extracellular membrane interactions
• Cell adhesion and intercellular interactions
• Molecular dynamics and molecular modelling of membranes.
• Antimicrobial peptides.
