The continued emergence and global distribution of infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant pathogens fuel our perpetual need for new or alternative therapies. Here, we present the discovery and initial characterization of bacterial cell-penetrating AMPs that were based on a family of virulence factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
