Generic and Specific Adaptive Responses of<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>to Challenge with Three Distinct Antimicrobial Peptides, Bacitracin, LL-37, and Nisin
17 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the response of Streptococcus pneumoniae to three distinct antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), bacitracin, nisin, and LL-37, transcriptome analysis of challenged bacteria was performed. Only a limited number of genes were found to be up- or downregulated in all cases. Several of these common highly induced genes were chosen for further analysis, i.e., SP0385-SP0387 (SP0385-0387 herein), SP0912-0913,...
