Synergistic Interaction between Silver Nanoparticles and Membrane-Permeabilizing Antimicrobial Peptides
Silver nanoparticles, as well as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), can be used to fight infectious diseases. Since AMPs are known to permeabilize bacterial membranes and might therefore help silver nanoparticles to access internal target sites, we investigated their combined activities and showed synergistic effects betweenpolymyxin B and silver nanoparticles for gram-negative bacteria.
