Peptidoglycan-Associated Cyclic Lipopeptide Disrupts Viral Infectivity
23 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
In this article, we consider a role for bacteria in shaping coronavirus infection. Taking cues from studies of enteric viruses, we initially investigated how bacterial surface components might improve CoV infection. Instead, we found that peptidoglycan-associated surfactin is a potent viricidal compound that disrupts virion integrity with broad activity against enveloped viruses. Our results indicate that...
