Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short, usually positively charged polypeptides
that exist in humans, animals, and plants. Considering the increasing number of drug …

The search for efficient antimicrobial therapies that can alleviate suffering caused by
infections from resistant bacteria is more urgent than ever before. Infections caused by multi …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been one of the major nosocomial
pathogens to cause frequent and serious infections that are associated with various …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute a promising alternative for the development of new
antibiotics that could potentially counteract the growing number of antibiotic-resistant …

As we are on the cusp of the “post-antibiotic” era due to rapid spread of drug resistant
bacteria, there is an urgent need for new antimicrobials that are not susceptible to bacterial …

We synthesized a combinatorial library of dendrons that display a cluster of cationic charges
juxtaposed with a hydrophobic alkyl chain, using the so-called “molecular umbrella” design …

Silver compounds have been used extensively for wound healing because of their
antimicrobial properties, but high concentrations of silver are toxic to mammalian cells. We …

Antimicrobials, and particularly antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), have been thoroughly
studied due to their therapeutic potential. The research on their exact mode of action on …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds that inhibit the growth of bacterial pathogens
by preventing microbial colonization in the host. AMPs are usually found in animals …

Alkyl-imidazolium chloride ionic liquids (ILs) have been broadly studied for biochemical and
biomedical technologies. They can permeabilize lipid bilayer membranes and have …
