Molecular response to the non-lytic peptide bac7 (1-35) triggers disruption of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> biofilm

2025-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae is becoming increasingly difficult to treat as multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains become more prevalent. The formation of biofilm heightens this threat by embedding bacterial cells in a polysaccharide-rich matrix that limits antibiotic penetration. Here we dissect the anti-biofilm bovine host-defense cathelicidin peptide fragment bac7 (1-35), exploring its anti-biofilm mechanism, evaluating it...
