Group IIA secreted phospholipase A <sub>2</sub> in human serum kills commensal but not clinical <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> isolates

2018-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Human innate immunity employs cellular and humoral mechanisms to facilitate rapid killing of invading bacteria. The direct killing of bacteria by human serum is mainly attributed to the activity of the complement system that forms pores in Gram-negative bacteria. Although Gram-positive bacteria are considered resistant to serum killing, we here uncover that normal human serum effectively kills Enterococcus faeciu...
