OT-CATH, a conserved antimicrobial peptide in Otariidae species, exhibits potent activity against gram-negative bacteria
ABSTRACT The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria necessitates the development of effective antimicrobial agents to combat antimicrobial resistance. Here, we identified and characterized OT-CATH, a conserved cathelicidin-family antimicrobial peptide derived from Otariidae species. OT-CATH exhib...
