Interactions of the antimicrobial peptide nisin Z with conventional antibiotics and the use of nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier, 2017)Antimicrobial resistance is an imminent threat to the effective prevention and treatment of bacterial infections and alternative antimicrobial strategies are desperately needed. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) may be promising ... -
Mechanism of in vitro cytotoxicity of antimicrobial peptides in combination with stabilizing excipients
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)Emerging antibiotic resistance poses a critical public health threat, particularly the alarming increase of resistant bacteria commonly associated with gastrointestinal (GI) infections. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a ...
