The extensive use of antibiotics for the treatment of human infections during the last few
decades has led to a dramatic increase in the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria …

Background Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of great potential as novel antibiotics for the
treatment of broad spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms including resistant bacteria. In …

The emergence and rapid spread of extremely multiresistant bacteria necessitates every
effort to develop novel antibacterial agents. Host-derived antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are produced by all forms of living organisms and represent a
novel class of antibiotics to treat infectious diseases. In this study, 29 AMPs of varying length …

Indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to a rapid increase of antibiotic resistance among
microbes which has increased the need to develop novel antimicrobial agents to fight …

Persulcatusin (IP), which is an antimicrobial peptide found in Ixodes persulcatus midgut, is
active against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. Multidrug-resistant …

As an alternative class of antimicrobial agents used to overcome drug-resistant infections,
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have recently gained significant attention. In this study, we …

The present study was performed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of an antimicrobial
peptide (CSpK14) and the synergies thereof with β-lactams against vancomycin-resistant …

Multidrug-resistant pathogens have become a major public health concern. There is a great
need for the development of novel antibiotics with alternative mechanisms of action for the …
