ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES MODIFIED FOR MAMMALIAN CELL RECOGNITION AND/OR ADHESION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method for promoting tissue adhesion to a surface, comprising attaching to a surface, or coating a surface with, a peptide that is antimicrobial and comprises a cell recognition and/or adhesion moiety. The disclosure also relates to peptides that have antimicrobial activity and further comprise cell recognition and/or adhesion moiety, and the use of such peptides to prevent the occurrence of microbial infection on or around a surface of a medical device.
