Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a large class of innate immunity effectors with a
remarkable capacity to inactivate microorganisms. Their ability to kill bacteria by …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been proposed as a novel class of antimicrobials that
could aid the fight against antibiotic resistant bacteria. The mode of action of AMPs as acting …

Tridecaptin A1 (TriA1) is a nonribosomal lipopeptide with selective antimicrobial activity
against Gram-negative bacteria. Here we show that TriA1 exerts its bactericidal effect by …

The number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is increasing worldwide, and the demand for
novel antimicrobials is constantly growing. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) could be an …

Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) are widespread in the living kingdom. They are
key effectors of defense reactions and mediators of competitions between organisms. They …

Antimicrobial peptides have been considered well‐deserving candidates to fight the battle
against microorganisms due to their broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activities. Several studies …

Vancomycin, the drug of last resort for Gram‐positive bacterial infections, has also been
rendered ineffective by the emergence of resistance in such bacteria. To combat the threat of …

The emergence of drug resistance along with a declining pipeline of clinically useful
antibiotics has made it vital to develop more effective antimicrobial therapeutics, particularly …

Understanding the mode of action of antibiotics is becoming more and more important in the
time that microorganisms start to develop resistance. One very well validated target of …

The doom and gloom of antibiotic resistance dominates public perception of this drug class.
Many believe the world has entered the post-antibiotic era. Classic and modern approaches …
