Article Synopsis
- LEAP-2 is an important antimicrobial peptide found in the liver of olive flounder, playing a key role in the fish's immune response, especially during infections.
- * Researchers cloned the LEAP-2 gene and produced it in E. coli, finding that its expression increases in the liver and head kidney when fish are infected with the bacterium Edwadrsiella piscicida.
- * The purified recombinant LEAP-2 showed significant antibacterial properties against various bacteria, disrupting their membranes and enhancing effectiveness when used alongside other antibiotics, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent against infections.
Objectives: Health-care workers (HCWs) are vulnerable to the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections, and the safety of HCWs is important in situations where a prolonged COVID-19 is expected.
Methods: HCWs were recently put in great danger around the globe; as of December 21, there were 306 confirmed cases in HCWs in South Korea, representing 0.60% of the total 50,591 confirmed cases nationally.
