The immunomodulatory effect of antimicrobial peptide HPA3P restricts Brucella abortus 544 infection in BALB/c mice.

The discovery of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in recent years has been promising for the treatment of multidrug resistant pathogenic microbes. Brucellosis is still considered one of the most common zoonoses in the world. In this study, we evaluated the effect HPA3P peptide in the bacterial uptake and intracellular growth of Brucella abortus (B.
