The increasing resistance of bacteria to conventional antibiotics resulted in a strong effort to develop antimicrobial compounds with new mechanisms of action. Antimicrobial peptides seem to be a promising solution to this problem. Many studies aimed at understanding their mode of action were descri

## Abstract In our previous study, we utilized a 26‐residue amphipathic α‐helical antimicrobial peptide L‐V13K (Chen et al., Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2007, 51, 1398–1406) as the framework to study the effects of peptide hydrophobicity on the mechanism of its antimicrobial action. In this study,

## Abstract We investigated the mechanism of candidacidal action of a Lys/Leu‐rich α‐helical model antimicrobial peptide (K~9~L~8~W) and its diastereomeric peptide (D~9~‐K~9~L~8~W) composed of D,L‐amino acids. K~9~L~8~W killed completely __Candida albicans__ within 30 min, but D~9~‐K~9~L~8~W killed
