Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous, gamma-proteobacteria, which are the main cause of nosocomial infection among all pathogens related to Pneumonia in the Intensive Care Unit. Among the various host's defense mechanisms, we are interested in the release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species by phagocytes. LsfA belongs to the peroxiredoxin (Prx) family and to the subgroup that contai…
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous and opportunistic pathogen that is exposed to an oxidative burst among other stresses during host invasion. To overcome this challenge, bacteria use a set of antioxidant proteins, including LsfA, a peroxiredoxin involved with the bacterial virulence that is capable to reduce H2O2 and other hydroperoxides at extremely fast rates. Thereby, LsfA protect…
