A biofilm-targeting lipo-peptoid to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus co-infections Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are a significant clinical challenge, especially when involving multiple species. Antimicrobial peptides and…

Lipo-peptoid TM18 disrupts P. aeruginosa and S. aureus biofilms, both individually and in co-infection. It also alleviates dermonecrosis in a murine infection model and, combined with meropenem, nearly eradicates co-infections. #AMR #biofilms #peptides

DJK-5, an anti-biofilm peptide, increases Staphylococcus aureus sensitivity to colistin killing in co-biofilms with Pseudomonas aeruginosa - npj Biofilms and Microbiomes npj Biofilms and Microbiomes - DJK-5, an anti-biofilm peptide, increases Staphylococcus aureus sensitivity to colistin killing in co-biofilms with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Our latest study shows that the anti-biofilm peptide DJK-5 makes Staphylococcus aureus vulnerable to colistin in co-biofilms with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A promising step in the fight against chronic co-infections! #AMR #Biofilms www.nature.com/articles/s41...
