Leptodactylus ocellatus (Amphibia): mechanism of defense in the skin and molecular phylogenetic relationships

Amphibian antimicrobial peptides have been known for many decades and several of them have already been isolated. However, the number of species investigated is still small. Herein, we report on the skin secretions of Leptodactylus ocellatus, which were extracted by mild electrical stimulation and i...
