Multi-omics elucidate octapeptin mechanisms in alleviating intestinal injury in mice challenged with ETEC K88 via modulated microbial and host pathways
ABSTRACT The mechanisms whereby antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) confer intestinal protection during enteric bacterial infection remain unclear. Here, we examined the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of the AMP, octapeptin, against intestinal infection induced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 (ETEC K88)...
