Comparisons of resistance of CF and non-CF pathogens to hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid oxidants in vitro.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzymes govern the assembly of amino acids and related monomers into peptide-like natural products. A key goal of the field is to develop methods to effective recombine NRPS domains or modules, and thereby generate modified or entirely novel products. We previously sho...
