Identification of Legionella pneumophila rcp, a pagP-like gene that confers resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides and promotes intracellular infection.

PMID: 114019642001

Key Findings

The study identifies rcp, a pagP-like gene in Legionella pneumophila, which confers resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) and promotes intracellular infection. Mutation of rcp reduces CAMP resistance and impairs intracellular survival and virulence.
