Interaction of designed cationic antimicrobial peptides with the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria

Abstract The outer membrane (OM) is a hallmark feature of gram-negative bacteria that provides the species with heightened resistance against antibiotic threats while cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) are natural antibiotics broadly recognized for their ability to disrupt bacterial membranes. I...
