LL-37 decreases association and internalization of GAS (group A Streptococcus) by oropharyngeal keratinocytes. OKP7 cells were infected with GAS 854, 854csrSTM, or 854ΔcsrS in the absence or presence of 300 nM LL-37. Numbers of total associated CFU (A) and intracellular CFU (B) are shown as means and SEM from four independent experiments; each experiment assayed each condition in triplicate. Asterisks indicate significant differences from values for strain 854 for the same condition: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. NS, not significant.
