Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #antimicrobialpeptides, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Could #antimicrobial peptides get around the threat of #antibiotic resistance #AMR? This study shows that random peptide mixtures are better than trad single-sequence #AntimicrobialPeptides at avoiding evolution of resistance in #Pseudomonas #PLOSBiology plos.io/3L9W9NO

  2. Happy to announce this #preprint , the culmination of last 10 years. 🥳

    We find that #antimicrobialpeptides are evolved to control specific #microbiome #bacteria. This example is a textbook case of host #immune #evolution being shaped by the microbiome 🦠 which depends on host #ecology.

    Thanks for comments! Bit of an experiment: we are posting pre-submit to get feedback 🙂.
