Antimicrobial peptides in human corneal tissue of patients with fungal keratitis (2020)
Journal Article
Mohammed, I., Mohanty, D., Said, D. G., Barik, M. R., Reddy, M. M., Alsaadi, A., …Mittal, R. (2021). Antimicrobial peptides in human corneal tissue of patients with fungal keratitis. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 105(8), 1172-1177. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjophthalmol-2020-316329

Background Fungal keratitis (FK) is the leading cause of unilateral blindness in the developing world. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been shown to play an important role on human ocular surface (OS) during bacterial, viral and protozoan infectio...
