Enterococci are gut microbes of most land animals. Likely appearing first in the guts arthropods as they moved onto land, diversified over hundreds millions years adapting to evolving hosts and host diets. Over 60 enterococcal species now known. Two species,
Antimicrobial peptides can be used systemically, however, their susceptibility to proteases is a major obstacle in peptide-based therapeutic development. In the present study, serum stability of p-BthTX-I (KKYRYHLKPFCKK) and (p-BthTX-I)₂, disulfide-linked dimer, were analyzed by mass spectrometry analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). activities assessed determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. Furthermore, biofilm...
ABSTRACT Enterococci are commensal gut microbes of most land animals. They diversified over hundreds millions years adapting to evolving hosts and host diets. Of 60 known enterococcal species, Enterococcus faecalis E. faecium uniquely emerged in the antibiotic era among leading causes multidrug resistant hospital-associated infection. The basis for association particular species with a is largely unknown. To begin deciphering traits that drive association, assess pool -adapted genes from...
