Background And Objectives: Different types of antibiotics have been indicated to enhance the secretion of OMVs from . We aimed to investigate the effect of meropenem and amikacin antibiotics on inducing the secretion of OMVs and immunologic features in
Materials And Methods: The OMVs were prepared from under hypervesiculation condition (treatment with amikacin and meropenem), and extraction was carried out by the sequential ultracentrifugation. Physicochemical features of extracted OMVs were evaluated by electron microscopy and SDS-PAGE. To quantify antibody synthesis and function after immunization with OMV, we used ELISA, serum bactericidal activity, and opsonophagocytosis. Production of cytokines from splenocytes of immunized mice was measured with ELISA.
Results: Specific-antibody IgG production, particularly IgG1 subclass, increased in mice primed with hypervesiculation-derived OMVs compared to normal condition-derived OMVs. Serum bactericidal activity and opsonophagocytosis of secreted antibody was enhanced in mice primed with hypervesiculation-derived OMVs. Investigation of cytokine production showed the upregulation of IL-8, IL-12, IL-17, and TNF-α and downregulation of IL-10.
Conclusion: Based on our findings, OMVs production can be increased by treating with amikacin and meropenem antibiotics. Moreover, hypervesiculation-derived OMV scan possibly activate the humoral and cellular immune response more than normal OMVs.

Despite significant progress in cancer treatment, traditional therapies still face considerable challenges, including poor targeting, severe toxic side effects, and the development of resistance. Recent advances in biotechnology have revealed the potential of bacteria and their derivatives as drug delivery systems for tumor therapy by leveraging their biological properties. Engineered bacteria, including , , and , along with their derivatives─outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), bacterial ghosts (BGs), and bacterial spores (BSPs)─can be loaded with a variety of antitumor agents, enabling precise targeting and sustained drug release within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

The bacterium is able to invade lung epithelial cells and survive intracellularly. During this process, it secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), however, it is currently unclear how OMVs from (PA-OMVs) affect lung epithelial cells and their impact on oxidative stress, autophagy, and other physiological activities of lung epithelial cells. In this study, we found that PA-OMVs activated oxidative stress and autophagy in cells.

They have the same membrane composition and characteristics as primitive cells, which enables them to penetrate cells and tissues efficiently. These OMVs exhibit excellent membrane stability, immunogenicity, safety, and permeability (which makes it easier for them to penetrate into tumour tissue), making them suitable for developing cancer vaccines and drug delivery systems.

CprA is a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) that contributes to resistance against colistin and antimicrobial peptides. The cprA gene is conserved across Pseudomonas aeruginosa clades and its expression is directly regulated by the two-component system PmrAB. We have shown that cprA expression leads to the production of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that block autophagic flux and have a greater capacity to activate the non-canonical inflammasome pathway.
