Abstract Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7) is a typical foodborne pathogen that
contaminates food and water, leading to lots of infectious diseases. In this study, a near …

The development of a robust and portable biosensor for the detection of pathogenic bacteria
could impact areas ranging from water-quality monitoring to testing of pharmaceutical …

The increase in antibiotic drug resistance and the low number of new antibacterial drugs
approved in the last few decades requires the development of new antimicrobial strategies …

Antimicrobial peptides are small, cationic proteins that can induce lysis of bacterial cells
through interaction with their membranes. Different mechanisms for cell lysis have been …

Poration of bacterial membranes by antimicrobial peptides such as magainin 2 is a
significant activity performed by innate immune systems. Pore formation by soluble forms of …

Escherichia coli O157: H7 can cause life-threatening gastrointestinal diseases and has
been a severe public health problem worldwide in recent years. A novel biosensor for the …

Hypothesis: It is widely regarded that antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) kill bacteria by
physically disrupting microbial membranes and causing cytoplasmic leakage, but it remains …

The membrane is one of the key structural materials of biology at the cellular level.
