Temporin B forms hetero-oligomers with Temporin L, modifies its membrane activity and increases the cooperativity of its antibacterial pharmacodynamic profile

P. M. Ferguson, M. Clarke, G. Manzo, C. K. Hind, M. Clifford, J. M. Sutton, C. D. Lorenz, D. A. Phoenix, A. J. Mason

This study shows that temporin B enhances the antibacterial cooperativity of temporin L by forming hetero-oligomers, altering membrane interaction and increasing efficacy against EMRSA-15.

Rifampicin or capreomycin induced remodelling of the Mycobacterium smegmatis mycolic acid layer is mitigated in synergistic combinations with cationic antimicrobial peptides

D. K.-W. Man, T. Kanno, G. Manzo, B. D. Robertson, J. K. Lam, A. J. Mason

This study shows that rifampicin and capreomycin induce mycolic acid layer remodeling in M. smegmatis, which is mitigated by synergistic combinations with cationic antimicrobial peptides.
