FIG. 4.
Sensitivity to the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin LL-37 (5 μg/ml). Results are expressed as percent survival normalized to wild-type (WT)-H2O. (A) Survival of SL1344 when grown in M9 supplemented with H2O or 500 μM EPI or NE. (B) Survival of SL1344, SL1344 virK mutant, SL1344 mig14 mutant, or SL1344 virK mig14 mutant when grown in M9 without supplementation. Asterisks indicate significant difference to wild-type-H2O using Student's t test (P < 0.01). Error bars are shown. Experiments were performed at least three times.
