Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to classical antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. TAT-RasGAP317-326 is an AMP with broad range antibacterial activity, but its mechanism of action is unknown. In this study, we analyzed a strain of Escherichia coli with extensive resistance to TAT-RasGAP317-326 but not to other AMPs that we obtained after twenty passages during an in vitro...
