Antimicrobial activity of an L-amino acid oxidase isolated from Bothrops leucurus snake venom

Antimicrobial activity of an L-amino acid oxidase isolated from Bothrops leucurus snake venom

Some snake venom proteins present enzymatic activities, such as L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO). The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of Bothrops leucurus total venom (BleuTV) and its fraction LAAO (BleuLAAO) on bacteria, yeast, and promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishma...
