“Clicking” an Ionic Liquid to a Potent Antimicrobial Peptide: On the Route Towards Improved Stability

“Clicking” an Ionic Liquid to a Potent Antimicrobial Peptide: On the Route Towards Improved Stability

A covalent conjugate between an antibacterial ionic liquid and an antimicrobial peptide was produced via “click” chemistry, and found to retain the parent peptide’s activity against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria, and antibiofilm action on a resistant clinical isolat...
