2004 OCT 12 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers have developed improved methods for producing outer membrane vesicles in Gram-negative bacteria.
According to a study from France, "Outer membrane vesicle formation occurs during Gram-negative bacterial growth. However, natural production of large amounts of outer membrane vesicles has only been described in a few bacterial genera. The purified vesicles of some bacterial pathogens have shown potential applications in vaccinology and in antibiotic therapy. This study focused on the development of a gene expression system able to induce production of large amounts of outer membrane vesicles."
"The ...
