Antimicrobial Peptide Synergies for Fighting Infectious Diseases

Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 26, September 15, 2023., 2023
Combination of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with other antimicrobial agents provides a new arsenal of drugs with synergistic action. The mechanism of action by AMPs is an advantage over antibiotics as it hinders the development of drug resistance. The synergistic effect of AMPs allows the repurposing of conventional antimicrobials, enhancing their ...

Immunoproteomic Analysis Reveals Novel Candidate Antigens for the Diagnosis of Paracoccidioidomycosis Due to Paracoccidioides lutzii

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a life-threatening systemic infection caused by the fungal pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and related species. Whole-genome sequencing and stage-specific proteomic analysis of Paracoccidioides offer the opportunity

Molecular detection and identification of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997
Nearly 800 nucleotides from the 5' terminus of the 28S ribosomal gene of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were sequenced, and a 14-base DNA probe specific for this species was identified. Hybridization results showed that the probe identified P. brasiliensis ribosomal DNA in a panel of ribosomal DNAs representing a total of 48 species of fungi.
