Mammalian cathelicidins are a class of innate antimicrobial peptides isolated from
leukocytes and epithelial cells that aid host defense against bacterial infections. Synthetic …

Although the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin-BF shows minimal cytotoxicity in mammalian
cells and has excellent direct killing effects on multidrug-resistant clinical pathogens such as …

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has recently emerged as an important
pathogen in nosocomial infection; thus, effective antimicrobial regimens are urgently …

Mammalian antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play an important role in host defense via direct
antimicrobial activity as well as immune regulation. The mouse cathelin‐related …

Background A case of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), known as gram-negative
bacteria, causes a range of nosocomial infections. Due to the continuous detection of multi …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibit multiple activities against bacteria and fungi. A bovine
myeloid antimicrobial peptide (BMAP-28) belongs to the cathelicidin-derived AMPs and has …

Antimicrobial peptides (AP) are important components of the innate immune system. Our
previous work revealed a higher mortality rate and up-regulation of proinflammatory gene …

Background Acinetobacter baumannii causes a wide range of dangerous infections due to
the emergence of pandrug-resistant strains. Therefore, there is a need for alternative …

The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide acts as an effector molecule of the innate
immune system with direct antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects. The aim of this …

Hirudomacin (Hmc) belongs to the Macin family of antimicrobial peptides, which can be
used for bactericidal purposes in vitro by cleaving cell membranes. Although the Macin …
