The future of recombinant host defense peptides
(BMC, 2022-12-21)
The antimicrobial resistance crisis calls for the discovery and production of new antimicrobials. Host defense peptides (HDPs) are small proteins with potent antibacterial and immunomodulatory activities ...
Antibiofilm surfaces based on the immobilization of a novel recombinant antimicrobial multidomain protein using self-assembled monolayers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-04-13)
The constant increase of microorganisms resistant to antibiotics has been classified as a global health emergency, which is especially challenging when biofilms are formed. Herein, novel biofunctionalized ...
Short Communication: The biological value of transition milk: analyses of Immunoglobulin G, IGF-I and Lactoferrin in primiparous and multiparous dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2023-05-24)
Colostrum (the first mammary gland secretion after calving) is known to contain high concentrations of nutrients as well as bioactive substances (including immunoglobulins, growth factors, and antimicrobial ...
Design strategies for positively charged endolysins: Insights into Artilysin development
(Elsevier, 2023-09-06)
Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded enzymes that can specifically degrade the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell wall, making them an attractive tool for the development of novel antibacterial agents. ...

Background
Lactic Acid Bacteria such as Lactococcus lactis, Latilactobacillus sakei (basonym: Lactobacillus sakei) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (basonym: Lactobacillus plantarum) have gained ...
A Novel Generation of Tailored Antimicrobial Drugs Based on Recombinant Multidomain Proteins
(MDPI, 2023-03-26)
Antibiotic resistance has exponentially increased during the last years. It is necessary to develop new antimicrobial drugs to prevent and treat infectious diseases caused by multidrug- or extensively-drug ...
