Combating urinary track infections through antimicrobial peptides

We are happy to share our new publication on antimicrobial peptides derived from spider's venom.

The peptide displayed anti-adhesive action in sub-inhibitory concentrations and inhibited the adhesion of quinolone-resistant bacterial cells on the surface of urinary catheter. Furthermore, it exhibits low toxicity in vitro and in vivo.
