Effects of sub-MICs of antibiotics on cell surface characteristics and virulence of Pasteurella multocida.

abstract：:The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans releases a large glycofragment of the Msb2 surface protein (Msb2*) into the growth environment, which protects against the action of human antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) LL-37 and histatin-5. Quantitation of Msb2*/LL-37 interactions by microscale thermophoresis revealed high-a...
