Antimicrobial Activities of LL-37 Fragment Mutant-Poly (Lactic-Co-Glycolic) Acid Conjugate against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i>, and <i>Candida albicans</i>

Antimicrobial Activities of LL-37 Fragment Mutant-Poly (Lactic-Co-Glycolic) Acid Conjugate against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i>, and <i>Candida albicans</i>

Various peptides and their derivatives have been reported to exhibit antimicrobial activities. Although these activities have been examined against microorganisms, novel methods have recently emerged for conjugation of the biomaterials to improve their activities. Here, we prepared CKR12-PLGA, in wh...
