Anthracimycin activity against contemporary methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
, 2014 Anthracimycin is a recently discovered novel marine-derived compound with activity against Bacillus anthracis. We tested anthracimycin against an expanded panel of Staphylococcus aureus strains in vitro and in vivo. All strains of S.

PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Dermal fibroblasts (dFBs) defend against deep bacterial skin infections by differentiating into preadipocytes (pAds) that produce the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin; this differentiation is known as the dermal reactive adipogenesis response. However,

Genetic diversity of Japanese quail cathelicidins
Poultry Science, 2021 Japanese quail is a low-fat, meat-bird species exhibiting high disease resistance. Cathelicidins (CATHs) are host defense peptides conserved across numerous vertebrate species that play an important role in innate immunity. The activity of host defense peptides can be affected by amino acid substitutions.

Cathelicidin Attenuates Hyperoxia-Induced Lung Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis in Newborn Rats
Antioxidants, 2022 High oxygen concentrations are often required to treat newborn infants with respiratory distress but have adverse effects, such as increased oxidative stress and ferroptosis and impaired alveolarization.

Cathelicidin Contributes to the Restriction of Leishmania in Human Host Macrophages
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 In cutaneous Leishmaniasis the parasitic control in human host macrophages is still poorly understood. We found an increased expression of the human cathelicidin CAMP in skin lesions of Ethiopian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis.
