Alarming data about increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics are reported, while at
the same time the development of new antibiotics is stagnating. Skin and soft tissue …

This review presents the current state of knowledge regarding multifunctional role of human
skin antimicrobial peptides (AMP s), including (a) protection from microbial infection,(b) …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also known as host defense peptides, are short and
generally positively charged peptides found in a wide variety of life forms from …

Repair of tissue wounds is a fundamental process to re‐establish tissue integrity and regular
function. Importantly, infection is a major factor that hinders wound healing. Multicellular …

Bacterial infections occur when wound healing fails to reach the final stage of healing, which
is usually hindered by the presence of different pathogens. Different topical antimicrobial …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are potent, mostly cationic, and amphiphilic broad-spectrum
host defense antimicrobials that are produced by all organisms ranging from prokaryotes to …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), or host defence peptides, are short proteins in various life
forms. Here we discuss AMPs, which may become a promising substitute or adjuvant in …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of the innate immune system. A variety
of AMPs have been isolated from species of all kingdoms and are classified based on their …

The rapid development of microbial resistance to conventional antibiotics has accelerated
efforts to find anti-infectives with a novel mode-of-action, which are less prone to bacterial …

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 …
