Antimicrobial peptides are a type of small-molecule peptide that widely exist in nature and
are components of the innate immunity of almost all living things. They play an important role …

Background The rapid increase of drug resistance in conventional antibiotics promotes the
discovery and development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are important …

Resistance to antibiotics is one of the main current threats to human health and every year
multi-drug resistant bacteria are infecting millions of people worldwide, with many dying as a …

Antimicrobial peptides, as an integral part of the innate immune system, kill bacteria through
a special mechanism of action, making them less susceptible to drug resistance. However …

Multidrug resistance among various bacterial strains is leading to worldwide resistance to a
wide range of antibiotics. Combination therapy involving current antibiotics and other …
