Effect of antimicrobial peptides on planktonic growth, biofilm formation and biofilm-derived bacterial viability of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Pneumococcal disease is often associated with prolonged colonisation of hosts and this process is facilitated by biofilm formation that is largely resistant to conventional antibiotics. We investigated the effects of antimi...
