  • Phage display selection of anti fungal peptides
    Patent number: 7811994
    Abstract: A method for the identification of peptides having an affinity for the surface of fungi is provided as is a method for the identification of peptides capable of affecting the development of a fungus. Also provided are compositions containing peptides identified using the method of the present invention. In addition, isolated polynucleotides, vectors, expression cassettes and transformed cells capable of expressing peptides identified by the method of the present invention are provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Phage-display peptides as novel antimicrobial agents against haemophilus influenzae
    Publication number: 20050037972
    Abstract: Whole cell phage-display techniques were used to identify several peptides that bound preferentially to a non-typeable strain of Haemophilus influenzae. These peptides were able to inhibit growth of both H. influenzae and Staphylococcal aureus. Thus, methods for treating bacterial infections, alone or in combination with traditional antibiotics, are envisioned.
