Susceptibility of human and murine Chlamydia trachomatis serovars to granulocyte- and epithelium-derived antimicrobial peptides
: Four antimicrobial peptides, protegrin‐1, RTD‐1, cryptdin‐4, and indolicidin, were tested for their ability to inhibit the in vitro growth of Chlamydia trachomatis serovars E, L2, and mouse pneumonitis (MoPn). In general, protegrin‐1 was found to have the strongest anti‐chlamydial activity. Overal...

Summary: | : Four antimicrobial peptides, protegrin‐1, RTD‐1, cryptdin‐4, and indolicidin, were tested for their ability to inhibit the in vitro growth of Chlamydia trachomatis serovars E, L2, and mouse pneumonitis (MoPn). In general, protegrin‐1 was found to have the strongest anti‐chlamydial activity. Overall, of the three serovars tested, L2 was the most susceptible while MoPn was the most resistant to these peptides. |
