  • Publication number: 20200197483
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for reducing the growth of and/or preventing the formation of a microbial biofilm are disclosed. The composition comprises an antimicrobial SMR peptide comprising an HIV-1 SMRwt peptide and a cell penetrating peptide (CPP) domain. In some embodiments, the composition further comprises one or more other antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), antibiotics, matrix-inhibiting compounds, matrix-disaggregating compounds, quorum sensing inhibitors, or a combination thereof. In other embodiments, the compositions are used for impregnating or coating an article and/or material surface with the composition to render it less prone to microbial infections.
