Figure 1From: Isolation of human β-defensin-4 in lung tissue and its increase in lower respiratory tract infectionAntimicrobial activities of hBD-2 (open circles), hBD-3 (closed circles), hBD-4 (open squares), and penicillin G (closed squares). (A) E. coli HB101, (B) P. aeruginosa PAO1. An increase in zone size represents the zone size measured at each antimicrobial compound concentration minus the zone size of the central control well (3 mm). Data represent the means ± SD of three independent experiments.Back to article page
