Antibiofilm Activity on <i>Candida albicans</i> and Mechanism of Action on Biomembrane Models of the Antimicrobial Peptide Ctn[15–34]

Antibiofilm Activity on <i>Candida albicans</i> and Mechanism of Action on Biomembrane Models of the Antimicrobial Peptide Ctn[15–34]

Ctn[15–34], the C-terminal fragment of crotalicidin, an antimicrobial peptide from the South American rattlesnake <i>Crotalus durissus terrificus</i> venom, displays remarkable anti-infective and anti-proliferative activities. Herein, its activity on <i>Candida albicans</i> b...
