The Direct Anti-Virulence but Not Bactericidal Activity of Human Neutrophil Elastase against <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i>

The Direct Anti-Virulence but Not Bactericidal Activity of Human Neutrophil Elastase against <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i>

Neutrophil elastase (NE) contributes to innate antibacterial defense at both the intracellular (phagocytosis) and extracellular (degranulation, NETosis) levels. <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i>, a human respiratory pathogen, can exist in an inflammatory milieu which contains NE. No data are...
