Endotoxin, capsule, and bacterial attachment contribute to Neisseria meningitidis resistance to the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37.

PMID 19376861 · 2009

Neisseria meningitidis uses its capsule and endotoxin lipooligosaccharide (LOS) to resist the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37. Additionally, bacterial attachment to host cells provides protection against LL-37.
