Membrane permeabilizing activity of CAMPs. a Representative fluorescence microscopy images of CAMP-treated and control bacteria stained with membrane-impermeable DNA dye propidium iodide (PI). Right panels are enlarged focal areas (a and b) from the left panels. b The number per field of positively stained P. aeruginosa at various times post-CAMP-treatment. c The number per field of S. aureus at various times post-CAMP-treatment. Data are expressed as the means ± SD of three independent experiments. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between different time points (*p < 0.05). Bar: 100 μm
