Cathelicidin Peptides Restrict Bacterial Growth via Membrane Perturbation and Induction of Reactive Oxygen Species

ABSTRACT All metazoans produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that have both broad antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. Cathelicidins are AMPs that preferentially kill Gram-negative bacteria in vitro, purportedly by assembling into higher-order structures that perforate the membrane. We utili...
