A Cationic Amphipathic Tilapia Piscidin 4 Peptide-Based Antimicrobial Formulation Promotes Eradication of Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterial Biofilms

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is prevalent among women of reproductive age and has a high rate of recurrence, which can be largely attributed to ineffective BV biofilm eradication by current first-line antibiotics. In this study, we report that the Nile tilapia piscidin 4 (TP4) exhibits broad-spectrum an...
