Proteomic Adaptation of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> to the Antimicrobial Peptide Human Beta Defensin 3 (hBD3) in Comparison to Other Cell Surface Stresses

Proteomic Adaptation of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> to the Antimicrobial Peptide Human Beta Defensin 3 (hBD3) in Comparison to Other Cell Surface Stresses

The antimicrobial peptide human Beta defensin 3 (hBD3) is an essential part of the innate immune system and is involved in protection against respiratory pathogens by specifically permeabilizing bacterial membranes. The Gram-positive bacterium <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> causes serio...
