A comparison of different strategies for antimicrobial peptides incorporation onto/into lipid nanocapsules.

TLDR
A lipid nanocapsule-based platform appears suitable to deliver AMPs, and the covalent attachment strategy turned out to be less conclusive due to peptide inactivation.

Aromatic and terpenic compounds loaded in lipidic nanocapsules: activity against multi-drug resisant Acinobacter baumannii assessed in vitro and in a murine model of sepsis

TL;DR: It is the first time that antimicrobial essential oils can be administered intraperitonneally and an important antibacterial activity against A. baumannii is shown, similar to the activity of non-encapsulated mixtures.

Multiple Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Our Worst Nightmare?

TL;DR: Pseudomonas aeruginosa carries multiresistance plasmids less often than does Klebsiella pneumoniae, develops mutational resistance to cephalosporins less readily than Enterobacter species, and has less inherent resistance than Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.

LL-37, the only human member of the cathelicidin family of antimicrobial peptides.

TL;DR: LL-37, the only cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide found in humans, is shown to exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and has been found to have additional defensive roles such as regulating the inflammatory response and chemo-attracting cells of the adaptive immune system to wound or infection sites.

Peptidomimetics—Tailored Enzyme Inhibitors†

J. Gante
- 16 Sep 1994 - 
TL;DR: Rational design is advancing rapidly, and it is already clear that developments in the area of peptidomimetics have given a great boost to peptide chemistry as a whole, and this can be expected to continue, so that in future peptide Chemistry may be characterized by a type of symbiotic alliance between peptides and non-peptides.
