Membrane targeting cationic antimicrobial peptides.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019Many short cationic peptides are amphiphilic and are often termed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as they can kill various microorganisms. These AMPs have largely been discovered from nature, but over the past two decades many biomimetic and de novo ...

Cationic antimicrobial peptides and periodontal physiopathology: A systematic review.
Journal of Periodontal Research, 2019OBJECTIVE The purpose of this systematic review was to establish if patients suffering from periodontal diseases present differences in the expression or production of cationic antimicrobial peptides in saliva, gingival fluid, and periodontal tissues ...

Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides Are Leading the Way to Combat Oropathogenic Infections.
ACS Infectious Diseases, 2021Oral dental infections are one of the most common diseases affecting humans, with caries and periodontal disease having the highest incidence. Caries and periodontal disease arise from infections caused by oral bacterial pathogens.

Cationic antimicrobial peptides – an update
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2004Cationic antimicrobial peptides play a very important role in nature as a first line of defence against attack and damage. However, their application to the clinic has not been very encouraging to date. There are indications that the barriers to their success may now be eroding with companies developing peptides to be more stable, cost effective and ...

Cationic host defense (antimicrobial) peptides
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2006Members of the cationic host defense (antimicrobial) peptide family are widely distributed in nature, existing in organisms from insects to plants to mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. Although many demonstrate direct antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, eukaryotic parasites and/or viruses, it has been established that cationic peptides ...

Phage-Encoded Cationic Antimicrobial Peptide Required for Lysis
Journal of Bacteriology, 2022We provide evidence that phiKT produces an antimicrobial peptide for outer membrane disruption during lysis. This protein, designated a disruptin, is a new paradigm for phage lysis and has no similarities to other known lysis genes.

Bacterial resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides
Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2012Naturally occurring cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) have been considered as promising candidates to treat infections caused by pathogenic bacteria to animals and humans. This assumption is based on their mechanism of action, which is mainly performed through electrostatic membrane interactions.
