- Antimicrobial peptides: key components of the innate immune system (2012, background): “Even though there is not much difference in lipid composition, Gram-negative bacteria differ from Gram-positive bacteria as the former have a smaller peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane, in addition to a cytoplasmic membrane containing LPS, which acts as permeability barrier (Hancock, 2001).”
- Analysis and prediction of antibacterial peptides (2007, background): “Background In the past few decades, a large number of bacterial strains have evolved ways to adapt or become resistant to the currently available antibiotics [1].”
- Multifunctional cationic host defence peptides and their clinical applications (2011, background): “work on these defence molecules from insects, amphibians and mammalian phagocytes demonstrated that these molecules have antimicrobial activity against a variety of microbes [37, 39, 67].”
- Peptides: A Package for Data Mining of Antimicrobial Peptides (2015, background): “Antimicrobial peptides are a promising source of antibiotics with a broad spectrum activity against bacteria and low incidence of developing resistance (Hancock, 2001).”
- Anti-immunology: evasion of the host immune system by bacterial and viral pathogens. (2006, background): “They have significant antimicrobial activity, which appears to be mediated by direct insertion of cationic and amphipathic peptides into negatively charged bacterial membranes, as well as many additional immunomodulatory activities central to innate responses (Hancock , 2001).”
