Physical and Functional Characterization of PLGA Nanoparticles Containing the Antimicrobial Peptide SAAP-148
Synthetic antimicrobial and antibiofilm peptide (SAAP-148) commits significant antimicrobial activities against antimicrobial resistant (AMR) planktonic bacteria and biofilms. However, SAAP-148 is limited by its low selectivity index, i.e., ratio between cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity, as w...
