Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key ...

Antimicrobial nanoparticles are materials with exceptional antimicrobial properties, capable of controlling bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Thanks to their unique physicochemical attributes, ...

An international team led by Durham researchers has mapped how the bacterial transporter protein SbmA shuttles antimicrobial peptides across cell membranes. Using advanced structural techniques, they ...

Experimental design and workflow of AMP prediction using in silico tools and 3D HT-HTS. Hirunipin 2 as a selected AMP candidate was evaluated on antibacterial, antibiofilm, antiinflammatory activiry ...

The current widespread use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine, agriculture, and industrial applications has resulted in their continual ...

In a recent review published in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance, researchers reviewed existing data on next-generation antimicrobial agents (NGAs) as a potential alternative to standard antibiotics ...

BioVersys and partners publish in the prestigious journal of Nature Communications pre-clinical development data of AlpE (alpibectir and ethionamide), an innovative drug combination that overcomes ...

Biofilm formation by microorganisms represents a formidable hurdle in medical treatment due to their complex, structured communities encased in a self-generated extracellular matrix. This matrix ...

A research team led by the Fisabio Foundation has demonstrated that dermcidin, an antimicrobial peptide produced constitutively by the human body, also exhibits antiviral activity against the ...
