Drug resistance by pathogenic microbes has emerged as a matter of great concern to
mankind. Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi employ multiple defense mechanisms …

In the last few decades, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been a worldwide concern. The
excessive use of antibiotics affects animal and human health. In the last few years, livestock …

We report the real-time response of Escherichia coli to lactoferricin-derived antimicrobial
peptides (AMPs) on length scales bridging microscopic cell sizes to nanoscopic lipid …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short polypeptides that are considered to be
attractive future alternatives to traditional antibiotics for their wide sources, excellent …

The exploitation of natural antimicrobial compounds that can be used in food preservation
has been fast tracked by the development of antimicrobial resistance to existing …

Adhesion to material surfaces is crucial for almost all organisms regarding subsequent
biological responses. Mammalian cell attachment to a surrounding biological matrix is …

Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and affects millions of people
worldwide, having no effective cure. The main sanitary emergency is related to patients with …

The growing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to conventional antibiotics promotes the
development of new antimicrobial agents, including peptides. Hydrogels composed of …

Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the genus Burkholderia are remarkably resistant to
broad-spectrum, cationic, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). It has been proposed that this …

Bacteria have developed increasing resistance to currently used antimicrobial agents. New
