Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are nanoscale, lipid bilayer–enclosed structures released by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria that act as active mediators of microbial and host–microbe communication rather than simple byproducts of membrane turnover. By packaging proteins, nucleic acids, lipids,...
