[Abstract]  Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can target the bacterial envelope or alternatively have intracellular targets. The latter requires uptake of the peptide by the bacterial cells. The bacterial internalization of an AMP can be evaluated by a fluorescence-based method that couples the use of the fluorescently labelled AMP to the fluorescence quencher trypan blue. Trypan blue is excluded from the interior of intact cells and the fluorescence of the extracellular peptide or of the peptide bound on the bacterial surface can be quenched by it, while the fluorescence of the internalized peptide is not affected. The uptake of the peptide by the bacteria is determined by measuring the fluorescence in individual cells by flow cytometry. [摘要]  抗微生物肽(AMP)可靶向细菌包膜或者具有细胞内靶标。后者需要细菌细胞摄取肽。 AMP的细菌内化可以通过基于荧光的方法来评估,所述方法将荧光标记的AMP的使用耦合到荧光猝灭剂台盼蓝。台盼蓝从完整细胞的内部排除,并且细胞外肽或结合在细菌表面上的肽的荧光可被其淬灭,而内化肽的荧光不受影响。通过用流式细胞术测量单个细胞中的荧光来测定细菌对肽的吸收。

[背景] AMP由广泛且多样的有效抗微生物剂组成,具有作为新型治疗剂的潜力(Wang等人)。 ,2015)。 AMP是天然免疫的一部​​分并且由所有王国的生物产生。它们被这些生物体动员以抵抗感染的微生物,其可以是细菌,真菌或病毒。他们这样做通过直接杀死微生物,但他们也可以作为哨兵,促进其他免疫途径。有趣的是,还已经清楚的是,AMP不仅是针对不良微生物的药剂,而且它们还在动物和植物宿主中共生细菌群体的控制中具有关键作用(Maróti等人,2011 ; Kondorosi et al 。,2013)。
