ABSTRACT:
Engineered antibiotic peptides and the preparation thereof are provided. The engineered antibiotic peptides, designated pheromonicins, are prepared by linking different bacteriocins or their functional domains with bacterial pheromones. Also provided are methods for treating bacterial infections by use of the antibiotic peptides.
