ESKAPE pathogens are a panel of most recalcitrant bacteria that could “escape” the
treatment of antibiotics and exhibit high incidence of drug resistance. The emergence of …

Antimicrobial resistance and tolerance are natural phenomena that arose due to
evolutionary adaptation of microorganisms against various xenobiotic agents. These …

Currently, viable antibiotics available to mitigate infections caused by drug-resistant Gram-
negative bacteria are highly limited. Thanatin, a 21-residue-long insect-derived antimicrobial …

This short review describes our efforts to apply scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic
force microscopy to provide an understanding of the mechanism of phospholipid bilayer …

Infection diseases caused by Gram-negative pathogens are exceedingly difficult to treat
because their characteristic outer membrane limits antibiotic entry. Herein, we report the …

Biofilms are highly tolerant to antimicrobials and host immune defense, enabling pathogens
to thrive in hostile environments. The diversity of microbial biofilm infections requires …

Introduction: The increase in bacterial strains resistant to conventional antibiotics is an
alarming problem for human health and could lead to pandemics in the future. Among …

Crustins are an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) family that plays an important role in innate
immunity in crustaceans. It is important to discover new AMPs from natural sources to …

Antimicrobial peptides and their analogues have become substitutes for antibiotics in recent
years. The antimicrobial peptide analogue SAMP‐A4‐C8 (n‐octanoic‐VRLLRRRI) with high …

Host defense peptides (HDPs) represent an alternative way to address the emergence of
antibiotic resistance. Crocodylians are interesting species for the study of these molecules …
