Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals a Direct Interaction of Intracellular <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> with the Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37

Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals a Direct Interaction of Intracellular <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> with the Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37

The antimicrobial peptide LL-37 inhibits the growth of the major human pathogen <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (<i>Mtb</i>), but the mechanism of the peptide–pathogen interaction inside human macrophages remains unclear. Super-resolution imaging techniques provide a novel...
