TL;DR: A widespread distribution of potentially pathogenic Acanthamoeba T4, T5, and T2/T6 in different environmental sources in Brasília is indicated, revealing the potential risk of human infection and the need of preventive measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thaulin-1: The first antimicrobial peptide isolated from the skin of a Patagonian frog Pleurodema thaul (Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae) with activity against Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: Patagonia's biodiversity has been explored from many points of view, however, skin secretions of native amphibians have not been evaluated for antimicrobial peptide research until now and the first peptides described for amphibians of the Pleurodema genus are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocellatin-PT antimicrobial peptides: High-resolution microscopy studies in antileishmania models and interactions with mimetic membrane systems.
Mayara Oliveira,Ana Georgina Gomes-Alves,Carla F. Sousa,Mariela M. Marani,Alexandra Plácido,Nuno Vale,Cristina Delerue-Matos,Paula Gameiro,Selma A S Kuckelhaus,Ana M. Tomás,José Roberto S. A. Leite,Peter Eaton +11 more
TL;DR: The results show selectivity of ocellatin‐PTs to the membranes of microorganisms and the applicability of biophysical methods to clarify the interaction of AMPs with cell membranes.
