The <i>vprAB-ompV-virK</i> operon of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> senses antimicrobial peptides and activates the expression of multiple resistance systems
2024-08-29
Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial peptides are small cationic molecules produced by eukaryotic cells to combat infection, as well as by bacteria for niche competition. Polymyxin B (PmB), a cationic cyclic antimicrobial peptide, is used prophylactically in livestock for infection prevention and as a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in humans.
