Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds, which have inhibitory activity against
microorganisms. In the last decades, AMPs have become powerful alternative agents that …

The bubbling community of microorganisms, consisting of diverse colonies encased in a self-
produced protective matrix and playing an essential role in the persistence of infection and …

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection directly, and the
dysregulation of host immune-inflammatory response finally destroys periodontal tissues …

Background: This article examines the use of a novel nano-system, gold nanoparticles
coated with indolicidin (AuNPs–indolicidin), against pathogenic Candida albicans biofilms …

Biofilm formation poses an important clinical trouble due to resistance to antimicrobial
agents; therefore, there is an urgent demand for new antibiofilm strategies that focus on the …

Biofilm formation is a common strategy used by bacteria in order to survive and persist in the
environment. In Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae), a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for the …

Cationic antimicrobial peptides are being developed as a promising class of antimicrobial
sub-stances. The introduction of a new antibiotic component requires a comprehensive …

This work illustrates a new role for the membranotropic peptide gH625 and its derivative
gH625-GCGKKK in impairing formation of polymicrobial biofilms. Mixed biofilms composed …

Chitosan-silica materials offer a specific environment for the adsorption of biofunctional
molecules, such as the antimicrobial peptide KR-12. The objective here is to rationalize the …

As the resistance to antimicrobial molecules increases among bacteria, the need for new
antimicrobial molecules increases. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP), which may be a new …
