c-di-GMP Enhances Protective Innate Immunity in a Murine Model of Pertussis
Figure 6
Sensitivity of B. pertussis to c-di-GMP in comparison to the human and porcine cathelicidins LL-37 and PG1.
A total of 5×106 to 7×106 CFU B. pertussis were co-cultured in duplicates with 10 µg/ml of the respective peptide in 20 mM PBS for 2 h. Bacterial numbers were determined by plate counts. Results are form three separate experiments and expressed as the means ± SD.
