Biofilm-resident bacteria and fungi are significantly more tolerant to conventional antibiotics. The extracellular polymeric substance matrix acts as a ...

Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key ...

Researchers have discovered a new multi-step pathway through which bacteria found in the mammalian gut produce antimicrobial peptides. Researchers in the Princeton University Department of Chemistry ...

Within the expanding landscape of short bioactive peptides, ABP-7 is believed to occupy a distinctive conceptual niche.

Researchers have identified a gut-lung axis driven by intestinal antimicrobial peptide expression and mediated by the intestinal microbiota that is linked to lung injury in newborns. These results ...

A Bucknell University course-based research project has culminated in a peer-reviewed publication, illustrating how hands-on classroom experiences can lead directly to new scientific knowledge and ...

Researchers developed an innovative artificial complex, Cu@G-antimicrobial peptides, which shows great potential in antibacterial therapy, especially against drug-resistant bacteria like ...

An international team led by Durham researchers has mapped how the bacterial transporter protein SbmA shuttles antimicrobial peptides across cell membranes. Using advanced structural techniques, they ...

A newly designed AI-powered tool is effective in developing treatments to attack antibiotic-resistant bacteria by breaking ...

Using a neonatal mouse model, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have shown that changes in the microbiota of the gut contribute to this dangerous lung injury. The changes occur ...
