Genomics of experimental adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to a natural combination of insect antimicrobial peptides
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are highly conserved immune effectors across the tree of life and are employed as combinations. In the beetle Tenebrio molitor, a defensin and a coleoptericin are highly expressed in vivo after inoculation with S. aureus. The defensin displays strong in vitro ac...
