Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of small peptides that widely exist in nature and
they are an important part of the innate immune system of different organisms. AMPs have a …

Bacterial infections caused by 'superbugs' are increasing globally, and conventional
antibiotics are becoming less effective against these bacteria, such that we risk entering a …

Antibiotics are essential drugs used to treat pathogenic bacteria, but their prolonged use
contributes to the development and spread of drug-resistant microorganisms. Antibiotic …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to human health that, by 2050,
will lead to more deaths from bacterial infections than cancer. New antimicrobial agents …

Host defence peptides (HDPs) are integral components of innate immunity across all living
organisms. These peptides can exert direct antibacterial effects, targeting planktonic cells …

Antimicrobial resistance is a multifaceted crisis, imposing a serious threat to global health.
The traditional antibiotic pipeline has been exhausted, prompting research into alternate …

Antibiotic resistance caused by antibiotic abuse, especially the emergence of multi-drug
resistant bacteria, poses a serious threat to human health, and makes it imperative to find …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also known as host defense peptides (HDPs), are important
effector immune defense molecules in multicellular organisms. AMPs exert their …

By targeting invasive organisms, antibiotics insert themselves into the ancient struggle of the
host-pathogen evolutionary arms race. As pathogens evolve tactics for evading antibiotics …

Antimicrobial peptides are an attractive alternative to traditional antibiotics, due to their
physicochemical properties, activity toward a broad spectrum of bacteria, and mode-of …
