Following publication, the authors realised that incorrect nomenclature had been used. ‘Exosomes’ was incorrectly used in place of ‘Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMV’s)’ throughout the article. This has not been corrected in the PDF or HTML versions of the article. The authors would like to apologise for the error, and any inconvenience caused.
