Potent and Specific Antibacterial Activity against <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7 and Methicillin Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) of G17 and G19 Peptides Encapsulated into Poly-Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) Nanoparticles

Potent and Specific Antibacterial Activity against <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7 and Methicillin Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) of G17 and G19 Peptides Encapsulated into Poly-Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) Nanoparticles

Antimicrobial peptides constitute an excellent alternative against conventional antibiotics because of their potent antimicrobial spectrum, unspecific action mechanism and low capacity to produce antibiotic resistance. However, a potential use of these biological molecules as therapeutic agents is t...
