A genomic approach highlights common and diverse effects and determinants of susceptibility on the yeast <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>exposed to distinct antimicrobial peptides

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) was initially correlated with peptide membrane permeation properties. However, recent evidences indicate that action of a number of AMP is more complex and involves specific int...
