Insight into the Roles of Albumin—Alone and in Combination with Either Voriconazole or Antimicrobial Peptides Derived from Chromogranin A—In the Growth of Different Microbial Species
Our experiments support the fact that albumins display intrinsic antimicrobial properties, with an unpredictable growth inhibitory effect on various microbes. ThHSA can thus be an adjunctive tool for more efficient care of some, though not all, infections. The interaction of BSA with catestatin and cateslytin is related to their structure, with BSA significantly enhancing the effect of catestatin but not that of cateslytin.
