Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria produce membrane-bound nanostructures, known as membrane vesicles, which have a range of functions that include serving as delivery vehicles, providing a means of communication over both spatial and temporal scales, and contributing to bacterial survival and evolution. Topics covered in this book range from the biogenesis and composition of bacterial membrane vesicles to their abundance and biological roles in microbial ecosystems, such as marine environments. In the individual chapters, the involvement of bacterial membrane vesicles in host-pathogen interactions, promoting virulence and in facilitating the establishment of infection is explained. In addition, current knowledge regarding membrane vesicles produced by commensal bacteria and their role in the maturation of the host immune system, as well as the therapeutic potential of bacterial membrane vesicles as delivery systems and innovative nanotechnology-based therapeutics are discussed. This work appeals to a wide readership of students and researchers interested in microbial ecology, mechanism underlying pathogenesis and new avenues in applied microbiology and nanotechnology. 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aCell membranes  606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aMembrane Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16050 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 606 $aMembranes cel·lulars$2thub 606 $aEcologia microbiana$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aCell membranes . 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 14$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aMembrane Biology. 615 24$aMicrobial Ecology. 615 7$aMembranes cel·lulars 615 7$aEcologia microbiana 676 $a589.90875 702 $aKaparakis-Liaskos$b Maria$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKufer$b Thomas A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409701703321 996 $aBacterial Membrane Vesicles$91907204 997 $aUNINA
