LPS Remodeling Triggers Formation of Outer Membrane Vesicles in <italic toggle="yes">Salmonella</italic>
ABSTRACT Outer membrane vesicles (OMV) are proposed to mediate multiple functions during pathogenesis and symbiosis. However, the mechanisms responsible for OMV formation remain poorly understood. It has been shown in eukaryotic membranes that lipids with an inverted-cone shape favor the formation o...
