Enhanced antimicrobial activity of peptide-cocktails against common bacterial contaminants of ex vivo stored platelets

Bacterial contamination of blood components such as ex vivo-stored platelets is a major safety risk in transfusion medicine. We have recently shown that synthetic antimicrobial peptides named PD1–PD4 derived from the thrombin-induced human platelet-derived antimicrobial proteins, and repeats of Arg-...
