Activatable prodrug for controlled release of an antimicrobial peptide via the proteases overexpressed in Candida albicans and Porphyromonas gingivalis

This paper develops a prodrug that releases an antimicrobial peptide upon activation by proteases from Candida albicans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, enabling both treatment and detection of these pathogens.
