Antibacterial spectrum of human omentum and differential expression of beta defensins

ConclusionOmentum directly responds to bacterial infection, which may be due to differential expression of hBD1 and hBD2 in human omental tissue. These peptides (hBD1 and hBD2) may be an ideal candidate for novel antibiotic class with a broad-spectrum activity.
