... for the everlasting demand of new antibiotic compounds constitute antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). These peptides act against different types of microbes by permeabilizing pathogen cell membranes, whereas being harmless to mammalian cells. Contrarily, another class of membrane-active peptides, namely cell-penetrating...

... extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), leading to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are extensively studied with regard to planktonic bacteria but much less so with regard to biofilm formation. In the present study, we investigated how the above three steps are affected...
