Plant antimicrobial peptides [PDF]
Folia Microbiologica, 2013 Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a component of barrier defense system of plants. They have been isolated from roots, seeds, flowers, stems, and leaves of a wide variety of species and have activities towards phytopathogens, as well as against bacteria pathogenic to humans.

Peptide Antimicrobial Agents [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2006 SUMMARYAntimicrobial host defense peptides are produced by all complex organisms as well as some microbes and have diverse and complex antimicrobial activities. Collectively these peptides demonstrate a broad range of antiviral and antibacterial activities and modes of action, and it is important to distinguish between direct microbicidal and indirect ...

A new family of diverse skin peptides from the microhylid frog genus phrynomantis [PDF]
, 2020 A wide range of frogs produce skin poisons composed of bioactive peptides for defence against pathogens, parasites and predators. While several frog families have been thoroughly screened for skin-secreted peptides, others, like the Microhylidae, have ...

Worms’ Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural antibiotics produced by all living organisms. In metazoans, they act as host defense factors by eliminating microbial pathogens. But they also help to select the colonizing bacterial symbionts while coping with specific environmental challenges.

De novo peptides as potential antimicrobial agents
Heliyon, 2023 The phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance threatens our ability to treat common infections. The clinical pipeline for new antimicrobials is pretty much dry and hence, there is a need for the development of new antimicrobial agents with low toxicities to

Antimicrobial dendrimeric peptides [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 2002 Dendrimeric peptides selective for microbial surfaces have been developed to achieve broad antimicrobial activity and low hemolytic activity to human erythrocytes. The dendrimeric core is an asymmetric lysine branching tethered with two to eight copies of a tetrapeptide (R4) or an octapeptide (R8).
