Cell-Penetrating Antimicrobial Peptides Derived from an Atypical Staphylococcal δ-Toxin

Cell-Penetrating Antimicrobial Peptides Derived from an Atypical Staphylococcal δ-Toxin

ABSTRACT Revisiting underutilized classes of antibiotics is a pragmatic approach to the identification of alternative therapies for antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. To this end, we designed and screened a set of seven staphylococcal δ-toxin-inspired peptides (STIPs) for antibacterial activity agai...
