title: Low molecular mass peptide dendrimers that express antimicrobial properties.
abstract: A series of low-generation dendrimeric peptides was synthesized in an attempt to evaluate their antimicrobial potency. All tested dendrimeric peptides in which lysine was a starting and branching element expressed moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 4163, and Escherichia coli NCTC 8196.
