Catestatin selects for the colonization of antimicrobial-resistant gut bacterial communities
2021-10-11
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiota is in continuous interaction with the innermost layer of the gut, namely the epithelium. One of the various functions of the gut epithelium, is to keep the microbes at bay to avoid overstimulation of the underlying mucosa immune cells. To do so, the gut epithelia secrete a variety of antimicrobial peptides, such as chromogranin A (CgA) peptide catestatin (CST: hCgA 352-372 ). As a defense mecha...
