Retrocyclins Kill Bacilli and Germinating Spores of Bacillus anthracis and Inactivate Anthrax Lethal Toxin

θ-defensins are cyclic octadecapeptides encoded by the modified α-defensin genes of certain nonhuman primates. The recent demonstration that human α-defensins could prevent deleterious effects of anthrax lethal toxin in vitro and in vivo led us to examine the effects of θ-defensins on Bacillus anthr...
