Antimicrobial peptide LL37 is potent against non-growing Escherichia coli cells despite a slower action rate

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have long been considered as potential agents against non-growing, dormant cells due to their membrane-targeted action, which is largely independent of the cell’s growth state. However, the relationship between the action of AMPs and the physiological state of...
