Sequence analyses of defensins and similar antimicrobial peptides have revealed the telltale signatures of positive selection, with d N greater than d S in many comparisons (Hughes 1999; Duda et al.
The full sequence of GGPG is GGGYGGRGGRLCFCRRRFCVCVGR-CONH 2 . In preliminary experiments, we determined that PG-1, GGPG, and I-GGPG exhibited virtually identical antimicrobial potency and kinetics (data not shown).
The lack of specific early markers of infection may be responsible in part for withholding, delaying or unnecessary antimicrobial treatment in critically ill patients [ 4].
Plants respond to invasion by pathogens with an array of biochemical and genetic changes, including the production of reactive oxygen species, antimicrobial compounds, antioxidants and signaling molecules such as salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA).
Resistance to polymyxin B is also imparted by the absence or masking of critical binding sites required for polycation-mediated permeabilization of the outer membrane [ 54 ] . Thus, attachment of polymyxin B to Yersinia enterocolitica is reduced by steric hindrance generated by the size and/or branched shape of the outer core region of its LPS macromolecule [ 55 ] . Additionally, resistance to cationic peptides can be due to cytoplasmic clearance of the antimicrobial peptide by an efflux pump; e.g., Yersinia resistance to polymyxin B caused by the RosA/RosB efflux pump/potassium antiporter [ 56 ] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistance to protegrin PG-1 via an energy-dependent efflux system termed mtr [ 57 ] .
