摘 要:In a recent study published in Cell Research,*** Song’s group reported the potent antibacterial activity of three coagulation factors(VII,IX,and X)against gram-negative bacteria and hence discovered a novel class of endogenous host antimicrobial proteins.1 At present,antimicrobial resistance(AMR)poses significant challenges for clinical care and seriously threatens human health.2,3 Among the clinical pathogens,gram-negative bacteria are particularly problematic in terms of drug resistance because their lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-rich outer membrane reduces cellular permeability and acts as a target for antibacterial resistance development.
