Mode of action of the antimicrobial peptide Mel4 is independent of Staphylococcus aureus cell membrane permeability

M. Yasir, D. Dutta, M. D. P. Willcox

This paper investigates the mechanism of action of the antimicrobial peptide Mel4 and its precursor melimine against Staphylococcus aureus, finding that Mel4 kills bacteria through autolysin release rather than membrane pore formation.
