Peptide Occurring in Enterobacteriaceae Triggers Streptococcus pneumoniae Cell Death.

abstract：:An important component in host resistance to malaria infection are inherited mutations that give rise to abnormalities and deficiencies in erythrocyte proteins and enzymes. Understanding how such mutations confer protection against the disease may be useful for developing new treatment strategies. A mouse ENU-induced ...
