Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Spherical and rod shaped protoplasts from β-lactam antibiotic treated cultures of Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1988
Addition of β-lactams to exponentially growing cultures of an autolytically deficient Bacillus subtilis metc3 lyt-2 strain FJ6 caused increase in optical density to stop after 1 h when it had about doubled, and thereafter to remain constant for at least 6 h.
