The resistance response of Klebsiella pneumoniae against the antimicrobial peptide PaDBS1R1

ABSTRACT: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with severe infections, which has led to the search for new antimicrobial drugs to face these infections. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are antimicrobials that exert anti-K. pneumoniae activity. Consequently, AMPs have been explored as a therapeutic option. However, similarly to other antimicrobials, K. pneumoniae can develop resistance against AMPs, although it is less frequent. Therefore, understanding the resistance mechanisms developed by K. pneumoniae against AMPs could aid in the design and development of more effective AMPs. This study aimed to identify via a label-free quantitative proteomic approach the resistance mechanisms involved in the resistance response of K. pneumoniae against the AMP PaDBS1R1.
