Cationic Peptides Facilitate Iron-induced Mutagenesis in Bacteria.

PLoS genetics - 1 Oct 2015

Rodríguez-Rojas Alexandro, Makarova Olga, Müller Uta, Rolff Jens

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the causative agent of chronic respiratory infections and is an important pathogen of cystic fibrosis patients. Adaptive mutations play an essential role for antimicrobial resistance and persistence. The factors that contribute to bacterial mutagenesis in this environment are not clear. Recently it has been proposed that cationic antimicrobial peptides such as LL-37 could act as mutagens...
