Global transcriptome analysis reveals distinct bacterial response towards soluble and surface-immobilized antimicrobial peptide (Lasioglossin-III)

Abstract

‘Antimicrobial peptide’-immobilized biomaterials are rapidly being developed to tackle concerns related to device-associated bacterial colonization and biofilm formation. This study aims to evaluate the metabolic changes within bacteria in response to a highly potent antimicrobial peptide Lasioglossin-III, in soluble and immobilized forms.
