Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with several human infections, mainly related to
healthcare services. In the hospital, it is associated with resistance to several antibiotics …

Host defence peptides (HDPs) are integral components of innate immunity across all living
organisms. These peptides can exert direct antibacterial effects, targeting planktonic cells …

The antibiotic crisis has led to a pressing need for alternatives such as antimicrobial
peptides (AMPs). Recent work has shown that these molecules have great potential not only …

Over 80% of all chronic bacterial infections in humans are associated with biofilms, which
are surface-associated bacterial communities encased within a secreted exopolysaccharide …

The widespread use of biomaterials to support or replace body parts is increasingly
threatened by the risk of implant‐associated infections. In the quest for finding novel anti …

Current research has demonstrated that small cationic amphipathic peptides have strong
potential not only as antimicrobials, but also as antibiofilm agents, immune modulators, and …

The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic microbes is becoming an
imminent global public health problem. Local application of antibiotics might be a solution. In …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major health challenge that causes recalcitrant multidrug-
resistant infections, especially in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. P …

Biofilms are complex three-dimensional structures formed at interfaces by the vast majority
of bacteria and fungi. These robust communities have an important detrimental impact on a …

Introduction: The recent dramatic increase in the incidence of antimicrobial resistance has
