Defensins are cationic antimicrobial peptides that have a characteristic six-cysteine motif
and are important components of the innate immune system. We recently described a β-…

Recent developments in sample introduction of biologically relevant molecules have
heralded a new era for gas-phase methods of structural determination. One of the biggest …

We describe a 2‐day‐old male infant who received rocuronium as part of general anesthesia
for a tracheal esophageal fistula repair. Postoperatively, he had prolonged central and …

Bacteriophage (phage) therapy is a promising alternative antimicrobial approach which has
the potential to transform the way we treat bacterial infections. Phage therapy is currently …

Beta defensins comprise a family of cationic, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides,
predominantly expressed at epithelial surfaces. Previously we identified a unique five-cysteine …

Bacterial resistance or tolerance to antibiotics is costly to patients and healthcare providers.
With the impact of antibiotic resistance forecast to grow, alternative antimicrobial approaches …

The Burkholderia cepacia complex comprises at least nine phylogenetically related genomic
species (genomovars) which cause life-threatening infection in immunocompromised …

Mammalian defensins are small endogenous cationic proteins which form a class of
antimicrobial peptides that is part of the innate immune response of all mammalian species [R. …

The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) comprises at least nine phenotypically similar but
genotypically distinct species (genomovars). Previously recognised as phytopathogens and …
