Host protease activity on bacterial pathogens promotes complement and antibiotic-directed killing

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Shaorong Chen et al. from the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology, Texas AandM Health Science Center, Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX, USA have published the paper: Host Protease Activity on Bacterial Pathogens Promotes Complement and Antibiotic-Directed Killing, in the Journal: Pathogens 2021, 10, x FOR PEER REVIEW of /2021/
• what: The authors show that neutrophil elastase acts Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to destroy factors that prevent serum-associated complementdirected killing. The authors demonstrate that host protease activity on bacterial cell surfaces can destroy bacterial . . .
