Antimicrobial resistance is a leading cause of mortality, calling for the development of new
antibiotics. The fungal antibiotic plectasin is a eukaryotic host defence peptide that blocks …

Covering: 1993 to the end of 2022As the rapid development of antibiotic resistance shrinks
the number of clinically available antibiotics, there is an urgent need for novel options to fill …

The intestinal lumen acts as a critical interface connecting the external environment with the
body's internal state. It's essential to prevent the passage of harmful antigens and bacteria …

Our research addresses the critical environmental issue of a fine particulate matter (PM2. 5),
focusing on its association with the increased infection risks. We explored the influence of …

Insect defensins are a large family of antimicrobial peptides primarily active against Gram-
positive bacteria. Here, we explore their hidden anti-Gram-negative bacterial potential via a …

Antimicrobial peptides are potent food additive candidates, but most of them are sensitive to
proteases, which limits their application. Therefore, we substituted arginine for lysine and …

The low activity and yield of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are pressing problems. The
improvement of activity and yield through modification and heterologous expression, a …

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious airborne communicable disease caused by organisms of the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) complex. Although the standard treatment antimicrobials …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are present in a wide range of plants, animals, and
