Intraperitoneal treatment with antimicrobial peptide rescues mice from a pulmonary <i>Francisella</i> infection

2019-04-09

Abstract excerpt

Our long-term goal is to identify new antimicrobial peptides that might be effective against pneumonic Francisella infection in mice. Previously, our group searched the peptidome of the American alligator for novel cationic antimicrobial peptides and identified a naturally-occurring C-terminal fragment of apolipoprotein C-1, which we called Apo6. This peptide was found to have antibacterial activity against the E...
