hydrophilic/hydrophobic characters of antimicrobial peptides derived from animals and their effects on multidrug resistant clinical isolates.multidrug resistant (mdr) pathogen infections are serious threats to hospitalized patients because of the limited therapeutic options. a novel group of antibiotic candidates, antimicrobial peptides (amps), have recently shown powerful activities against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. unfortunately, the viability of using these amps in clinical settings remains to be seen, since most still need to be evaluated prior to clinical trials and not all of amps are potent against mdr cli ...025730460
minibactenecins chbac7.nα and chbac7. nβ - antimicrobial peptides from leukocytes of the goat capra hircus.antimicrobial peptides (amps) of neutrophils play an important role in the animal and human host defenses. we have isolated two amps (average molecular masses of 2895.5 and 2739.3 da), with potent antimicrobial activity from neutrophils of the domestic goat (capra hircus). a structural analysis of the obtained peptides revealed that they encompass n-terminal fragments (1-21 and 1-22) of the proline-rich peptide bactenecin 7.5. the primary structure of caprine bactenecin 7.5 had been previously d ...027795854
