1. Defense-peptides against mycobacteria
Abstract : Several members of the genus Mycobacterium can cause serious infections in both man and animal. One of the world's most serious infectious diseases, tuberculosis, is caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Specific defense to tuberculosis/mycobacteriosis is dependent on the individual's ability to mount a proficient immune response. READ MORE

3. Pharmaceutical and mutational interference with virulence of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium
Abstract : Within the species Salmonella enterica are a diverse range of bacteria that can cause illness in humans and many animals. Salmonellae are extremely versatile and can adapt to a variety of environments and hosts. Typhoid and paratyphoid fever, caused by human-restricted S. enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi are common in the developing world. READ MORE

4. Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides : Rates, Mechanisms and Fitness Effects
Abstract : The rapid emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has necessitated the development of alternative treatment strategies. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important immune system components that kill microbes rapidly and have broad activity-spectra, making them promising leads for new pharmaceuticals. READ MORE

5. Isolation, structure and processing of bioactive peptides
Abstract : Amino acid sequences deduced from DNA sequences do not prove in which forms proteins, peptides and their processed products are present in the tissues. The products of a single gene may give rise to variants of peptides because of post-transcriptional or post-translational processing. READ MORE
