The design and evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of a novel conjugated penta-ultrashort antimicrobial peptide in combination with conventional antibiotics against sensitive and resistant strains of S. aureus and E. coli.

Abstract excerpt

Background and purpose: Antimicrobial resistance still constitutes a major health concern to the global human population. The development of new classes of antimicrobial agents is urgently needed to thwart the continuous emergence of highly resistant microbial pathogens. Experimental approach: In this study, we have rationally designed a novel conjugated ultrashort antimicrobial peptide. The peptide named...
