    摘要: Methods for generating synthetic antimicrobial peptides include (i) identifying a peptide fragment of an antimicrobial peptide that includes a cluster of cationic residues and at least about 25% hydrophobic residues, preferably between about 40% – 60% hydrophobic residues and (ii) generating a peptide variant library based on the peptide fragment by varying a hydrophobicity and charge of residues that make up the peptide fragment. Resulting synthetic peptides can include linear synthetic peptide variants of an AS-48-like bacteriocin having increased antimicrobial activity.

    摘要: There is an urgent need for new antibiotics and antimicrobials to treat and cure acute and chronic infections by bacterial pathogens. Current high-throughput practices, do not account for any specifics in bacterial growth or inhibition. Such approaches inefficiently identify many false positives and false negatives of novel compounds. Additionally, this strategy informs little about biochemical changes resulting from bactericidal exposure. We disclose a Precision Throughput approach that can be used to effectively screen new potential antimicrobials under specialized growth conditions relevant to bacterial pathogenesis. This platform can be used to determine new biology and antimicrobial effects of the pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Group A Streptoccoccus and determine new metrics for characterizing bactericidal activity by a Precision Throughput approach.
