Division-arrest induced filamentation protects uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> from killing by the cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37

2026-01-29

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial peptides are a key component of the innate immune system, serving both as signaling and immunomodulatory molecules and also as direct antimicrobials toward numerous bacterial species. One of the key antimicrobial peptides in humans is LL-37 but the mechanism of bacterial killing remains poorly characterized. Using live-cell imaging, we observe that LL-37 preferentially targets actively dividing E. c...
