Popis: Abstract Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are nano‐size particles secreted by bacteria that carry various bioactive components. These vesicles are thought to provide a new window into the mechanisms by which bacteria affect their hosts, but their fundamental proprieties within human remain poorly understood. Here, we developed a single‐vesicle analytical platform that enabled BEV detection in complex biological samples of host. Using this platform, we found the presence of BEVs in the host circulation and they were mainly derived from gut microbes. We showed that the levels of circulating BEVs in humans significantly increased with aging due to an age‐related increase in intestinal permeability. Significantly different levels of BEVs in blood were also found in patients with colorectal cancer and colitis. Together, our study provides new insights into circulating BEV biology and reveals their potential as a new class of biomarkers.
