Super-Cationic Peptide Dendrimers—Synthesis and Evaluation as Antimicrobial Agents

Super-Cationic Peptide Dendrimers—Synthesis and Evaluation as Antimicrobial Agents

Microbial infections are a major public health concern. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been demonstrated to be a plausible alternative to the current arsenal of drugs that has become inefficient due to multidrug resistance. Herein we describe a new AMP family, namely the super-cationic peptide d...
