Abstract
Together with known lacrimal antimicrobial activities, these results extend the knowledge of antimicrobial activity at an important mucosal site, the ocular surface, allowing synergistic interactions to be investigated. The findings has significant implications both for the understanding of the normal homeostasis of mucosal surfaces and for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapies.
