Description
PSM-mec peptide is a peptide toxin belonging to the phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) superfamily. PSM-mec peptide is encoded by the psm-mec gene and associated with the methicillin resistance gene element (SCCmec). PSM-mec peptide has pro-inflammatory, cytolytic functions and the role of regulating the structure of biofilms. PSM-mec peptide can be mainly used for the pathogenic mechanism and drug resistance research of canine pseudo-intermediate Staphylococcus (S. pseudintermedius) related infections and zoonotic diseases[1]
