Moreover, when allied with high throughput screening methods for antibacterial and hemolytic activities, including colorimetric assays (Kolusheva et al., 2000) and SPOT-synthesis of peptide arrays on cellulose membranes (Figure 1) (Hilpert et al., 2007), the chances of selecting promising AMPs are higher, which has also been confirmed by in vivo assays using animal models of infection. Here, ADSL is linked to infection.
