The oral pathogen <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> resists the antimicrobial peptide LGL13K and evades the D-enantiomer by synonymous mutations in <i>hagA</i>

2023-09-07

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone pathogen for periodontal disease. The bacteria are black-pigmented and require heme for growth. P. gingivalis exhibit resistance to many antimicrobial peptides, including the L-enantiomer of the antimicrobial peptide GL13K, which contributes to their success in the oral cavity. P. gingivalis W50 was resistant to LGL13K but susceptible to the stereo-isomer DGL13K. Upon prolo...
