Figure 4. Alternative Mechanisms of Protein Secretion in Acinetobacter spp.

Figure 4

Left: OMVs generated by formation of outer membrane blebs can contain hundreds of proteins, including important virulence (OmpA) and antibiotic resistance factors (AmpC, plasmid DNA). OmpA may additionally play a role in modulating protein packaging into OMVs. Right: Proteins identified in culture supernatants that may contribute to virulence, but have no described secretory mechanism, are shown on right.
