Contains a bait molecule which sequesters and inactivates microbial proteases. Small protein expressed on the skin with potent antibacterial activity against E. coli. Multimeric proteins with 5 identical subunits which bind to the pathogen surface. Amphipathic molecules which insert into microbial membranes to form a disruptive pore. Activated as part of the Kinin cascade, causes vasodilation.

A white blood cell has pathogen recognition proteins embedded in its plasma membrane. Initially, the the pathogen recognition proteins are spread over the whole surface of the white blood cell. The white blood cell comes into contact with a bacterial cell. Some of the pathogen recognition proteins bind to the lipoteichoic acid molecules on the surface of the bacterial cell. As time goes on, more and more of the pathogen recognition proteins bind to the lipoteichoic acid molecules on the bacterial cell surface. The white blood cell membrane at the point of contact between these 2 cells now contains a dense cluster pathogen recognition proteins. How is it possible for the pathogen recognition proteins to go from being equally distributed on the white blood cell surface to being clustered at the point of contact?

In general, why might cell-wall inhibiting antimicrobial drugs be less effective on gram-negative bacteria compared to gram-positive bacteria? The gram-negative bacteria digest these drugs at a much higher rate than gram-positive bacteria. The mutation rate of gram-negative bacteria is much greater than that of gram-positive bacteria. The outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria inhibits penetration of the drug. The peptidoglycan found in gram-positive bacteria is structurally different from that in gram-negative bacteria. The gram-negative bacteria do not synthesize peptidoglycan.
