Shorter Antibacterial Peptide Having High Selectivity for <i>E. coli</i> Membranes and Low Potential for Inducing Resistance

Shorter Antibacterial Peptide Having High Selectivity for <i>E. coli</i> Membranes and Low Potential for Inducing Resistance

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been recognised as a significant therapeutic option for mitigating resistant microbial infections. It has been found recently that <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>-derived, 20 residue long, peptide 35409 had antibacterial and haemolytic activity, making it...
