Characterization of Cetacean Proline-Rich Antimicrobial Peptides Displaying Activity against ESKAPE Pathogens
Proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (PrAMPs) may be a valuable weapon against multi-drug resistant pathogens, combining potent antimicrobial activity with low cytotoxicity. We have identified novel PrAMPs from five cetacean species (cePrAMPs), and characterized their potency, mechanism of action and...
