Figure 1. Schematic representation of generation of extracellular vesicles from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. OMVs generate from Gram-negative bacteria through outer membrane blebbing; instead, MVs generate from Gram-positive bacteria through cell membrane budding and cell wall remodelling caused by degradation of peptidoglycan resulting in cell lysis.
