Antimicrobial peptides (APs) have been described as evolutionary ancient weapons.
Produced by a wide variety of organisms as part of a non-specific immune response, these …

In the last decades, the indiscriminate use of conventional antibiotics has generated high
rates of microbial resistance. This situation has increased the need for obtaining new …

Antimicrobial peptides (APs) are an important part of the innate immune system in epithelial
and non-epithelial surfaces. So far, many different antimicrobial peptides from various …

Introduction: The recent dramatic increase in the incidence of antimicrobial resistance has
been recognized by organizations such as the United Nations and World Health …

The “golden era” of antibiotic discovery has long passed, but the need for new antibiotics
has never been greater due to the emerging threat of antibiotic resistance. This urgency to …

The growing emergence of antimicrobial resistance represents a global problem that not
only influences healthcare systems but also has grave implications for political and …

Antibiotic resistance is increasing at a rate that far exceeds the pace of new development of
drugs. Antimicrobial peptides, both synthetic and from natural sources, have raised interest …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) discovered about 30 years ago are responsible for part of the
innate immunity of animals and plants, and almost 3000 peptides have been reported so far …

With increasing antibiotics resistance, there is an urgent need for novel infection
therapeutics. Since antimicrobial peptides provide opportunities for this, identification and …
