Real-Time Fluorescence Microscopy on Living <i>E. coli</i> Sheds New Light on the Antibacterial Effects of the King Penguin β-Defensin AvBD103b

(1) Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. Among AMPs, the disulfide-rich β-defensin AvBD103b, whose antibacterial activities are not inhibited by salts contrary to most other β-defensins, is particularly appealing. Information about the mechanisms of...
