## Abstract The cell‐penetrating peptide Tat (48–60) (GRKKRRQRRRPPQ) derived from HIV‐1 Tat protein showed potent antibacterial activity (MIC: 2–8 µM). To investigate the effect of dimerization of Tat (48–60) analog, [Tat(W): GRKKRRQRRRPWQ‐NH~2~], on antimicrobial activity and mechanism of bacteric
