The antimicrobial peptide thanatin disrupts the bacterial outer membrane and inactivates the NDM-1 metallo-β-lactamase

The NDM-1 metallo-β-lactamase confers resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. Here, the authors show that the antimicrobial peptide thanatin is active against NDM-1-producing bacteria through a dual mechanism of action consisting of disruption of outer membrane integrity and inhibition of the NDM-1 enzy...
