More than 40 antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) are expressed in the oral cavity.
These AMPs have been organized into 6 functional groups, 1 of which, cationic AMPs, has …

Current research has demonstrated that small cationic amphipathic peptides have strong
potential not only as antimicrobials, but also as antibiofilm agents, immune modulators, and …

A number of cationic antimicrobial peptides, effectors of innate immunity, are supposed to
act at the cytoplasmic membrane leading to permeabilization and eventually membrane …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising novel antibiotics since they have shown
antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacterial species, including multiresistant …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have remarkably different structures as well as biological
activity profiles, whereupon most of these peptides are supposed to kill bacteria via …

During the development of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) as potential therapeutics,
antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) stands as an essential part of the process in …

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and highlight a few classes of traditional
antimicrobial peptides with a focus on structure-activity relationship studies. After first …

In this era of multi-drug resistance (MDR), antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the most
promising classes of potential drug candidates to combat communicable as well as …

The activity of many antibiotics depends on the initial density of cells used in bacterial
growth inhibition assays. This phenomenon, termed the inoculum effect, can have important …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant threat to global health. The conventional
antibiotic pool has been depleted, forcing the investigation of novel and alternative …
