Abstract excerpt
MUC7 12-mer is a cationic peptide derived from the N-terminal portion of human mucin MUC7, exhibiting potent antibacterial and antifungal properties. To advance our knowledge regarding the mechanisms of action of MUC7 peptide against an opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, we sought to develop and characterize mutant(s) resistant to this peptide. One of the selected mutants, designated #37, was much...
