Development of a Potent Antimicrobial Peptide With Photodynamic Activity

Development of a Potent Antimicrobial Peptide With Photodynamic Activity

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a serious challenge to medical practice worldwide. A small peptide with sequence RWRWRW was previously identified as a core antimicrobial peptide with limited antimicrobial spectrum to bacteria, especially Gram-positive bacteria. By conjugating th...
