mortality due to an infectious agent. This pathogen can cause a wide variety of diseases …

Staphylococcus aureus is a member of the human commensal microflora that exists,
apparently benignly, at multiple sites on the host. However, as an opportunist pathogen it …

Chronic and recurrent bacterial infections are frequently associated with the formation of
biofilms on biotic or abiotic materials that are composed of mono-or multi-species cultures of …

Lysozyme is a cornerstone of innate immunity. The canonical mechanism for bacterial killing
by lysozyme occurs through the hydrolysis of cell wall peptidoglycan (PG). Conventional …

The spread of bacterial drug resistance has posed a severe threat to public health globally.
Here, we cover bacterial resistance to current antibacterial drugs, including traditional herbal …

In recent years, because of increased resistance to conventional antimicrobials, many
researchers have started to study the synthesis of new antibiotics to control the disease …

Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an intrinsic part of the human innate immune
system. Over 100 different human AMPs are known to exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial …

Many short cationic peptides are amphiphilic and are often termed antimicrobial peptides
(AMPs) as they can kill various microorganisms. These AMPs have largely been discovered …

For many decades, Escherichia coli was the main model organism for the study of bacterial
membrane lipids. The results obtained served as a blueprint for membrane lipid …

The bacterial membrane provides a target for antimicrobial peptides. There are two groups
of bacteria that have characteristically different surface membranes. One is the Gram …
