![]() EVs of disease-causing bacteria are important factors in host–pathogen interplay, as they can increase the pathogenicity of microbes by transferring virulence factors into host cells and exert cytotoxic effects. Traditionally, it was known that these structures are produced by Gram-negative bacteria, but recent evidence has revealed that they are also produced by Gram-positive. One of these mechanisms is the release of membrane-derived extracellular vesicles (EV). ![]() Pathogenic microorganisms have developed numerous strategies to survive within their hosts, defending from the immune system and evading its action.
