The formation of lateral microdomains is emerging as a central organizing principle in
bacterial membranes. These microdomains are targets of antibiotic development and have …

Liposomes are lipid vesicles made of one or multiple lipid bilayers surrounding an internal
aqueous core. They are broadly employed as models to study membrane structure and …

Staphylococcus aureus frequently causes infections that are challenging to treat, leading to
high rates of persistent and relapsing infection. Here, to understand how the host …

Biofilm as a cellular conformation confers survival properties to microbial populations and
favors microbial resistance. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antimotility …

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that is considered a global health
threat. This microorganism can adapt to hostile conditions by regulating membrane lipid …

Cationic amphiphilic polymers have been a platform to create new antimicrobial materials
that act by disrupting bacterial cell membranes. While activity characterization and chemical …

This work reports detailed characteristics of the antimicrobial peptide Intestinalin (P30),
which is derived from the LysC enzyme of Clostridium intestinale strain URNW. The peptide …

Membranes are essential to cellular organisms, and play several roles in cellular protection
as well as in the control and transport of nutrients. One of the most critical membrane …

Staphylococcus aureus membranes contain carotenoids formed during the biosynthesis of
staphyloxanthin. These carotenoids are considered virulence factors due to their activity as …

Staphyloxanthin (STX) is a saccharolipid derived from a carotenoid in Staphylococcus
aureus involved in oxidative-stress tolerance and antimicrobial peptide resistance. STX …
