Here we present for the first time a potential wound dressing material implementing
aptamers as binding entities to remove pathogenic cells from newly contaminated surfaces …

Candida auris is an emerging Candida sp. that has rapidly spread all over the world. The
evidence regarding its origin and emerging resistance is still unclear. The severe infection …

Mollusks have been widely investigated for antimicrobial peptides because their humoral
defense against pathogens is mainly based on these small biomolecules. In this report, we …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute part of a broad range of bioactive compounds
present on diverse organisms, including frogs. Peptides, produced in the granular glands of …

We stand as dissenters against the acceptance of scientific knowledge that has not been
built on empirical data. With this in mind, this review synthesizes selected aspects of the …

Peptides isolated from the mucus of Cornu aspersum could be prototypes for antibiotics
against pathogenic bacteria. Information regarding the mechanisms, effective concentration …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a re-emerging flavivirus that causes conditions such as microcephaly
and testis damage. The spread of ZIKV has become a major public health concern. Recent …

Antimicrobial peptides are a fundamental component of mollusks' defense systems, though
they remain a thinly investigated subject. Here, infection by Vibrio parahemolyticus triggered …

The diminishing portfolio of mankind's available antibiotics urges science to develop novel
potent drugs. Here, we present a peptide fitting the typical blueprint of amphipathic and …

Recently two peptides isolated from the Cuban freshwater snail Pomacea poeyana (Pilsbry,
1927) were described to have antimicrobial activity against bacterial pathogens. Here we …
