The abuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant microbial
pathogens, presenting a pressing challenge in global healthcare. Membrane-disrupting …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to classical antibiotics in the fight
against multi-resistant bacteria. They are produced by organisms from all domains of life and …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy
(STORM), and neutron reflection (NR) were combined to explore how antimicrobial peptides …

Antimicrobial peptides are an attractive alternative to traditional antibiotics, due to their
physicochemical properties, activity toward a broad spectrum of bacteria, and mode-of …

Antimicrobial peptides hold promise as broad-spectrum alternatives to conventional
antibiotics. The mechanism of action of this class of peptide is a topical area of research …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising next generation antibiotics that hold great
potential for combating bacterial resistance. AMPs can be both bacteriostatic and …

Many organisms rely on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as a first line of defense against
pathogens. In general, most AMPs are thought to kill bacteria by binding to and disrupting …

One of the major hurdles in the development of antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-based materials
is their poor capacity in selectively killing bacteria without harming nearby mammalian cells …

Background: Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are widely recognized as promising alternatives
to the current use of antibiotics and fungicides. Amino-acid sequences of a vast majority of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that disrupt bacterial membranes are promising therapeutics
against the growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The mechanism of membrane …
