The introduction of antibiotics has revolutionized the treatment and prevention of microbial
infections. However, the global spread of pathogens resistant to available antibiotics is a …

Microbial infections are still among the major public health concerns since several yeasts
and fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms, are responsible for continuous growth of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can be used as alternative therapeutic agents to traditional
antibiotics. These peptides have abundant natural template sources and can be isolated …

Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have gained wide interest as viable
alternatives to antibiotics owing to their potent antimicrobial effects and the low propensity of …

Antimicrobial peptides are sequences of amino acids, which present activity against
microorganisms. These peptides were discovered over 70 years ago, and are abundant in …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant threat to global health. The conventional
antibiotic pool has been depleted, forcing the investigation of novel and alternative …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been described as excellent candidates to overcome
antibiotic resistance. Frequently, AMPs exhibit a wide therapeutic window, with low …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a great potential to face the global expansion of
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) associated to the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) …

The security issue of human health is faced with dispiriting threats from multidrug-resistant
bacteria infections induced by the abuse and misuse of antibiotics. Over decades, the …

Recently, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also called host defence peptides (HDPs), are
attracting great interest, as they are a highly viable alternative in the search of new …
