Abstract
Reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) are produced by the defense repertoire of the hosts' immune system to combat microbial pathogens and by the antibiotics administration. Among ROS, organic hydroperoxides (OHPs), including lipid hydroperoxides, are potent microbicidal agents. 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (2-Cys Prx) represent an important line of defense capable to decompose a high …
