Antimicrobial activity of cationic antimicrobial peptides against stationary phase bacteria
2022-08-29
Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ancient antimicrobial weapons used by multicellular organisms as components of their innate immune defences. Because of the antibiotic crisis, AMPs have also become candidates for developing new drugs. Here, we show that five different AMPs of different classes are effective against non-dividing E. coli and S. aureus. By comparison, three conventional antibiotics from the main thr...
