The problem of drug resistance due to long-term use of antibiotics has been a concern for
years. As this problem grows worse, infections caused by multiple bacteria are expanding …

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small proteins with potent antibacterial,
antiviral, and antifungal activity. AMPs are ubiquitous among multicellular eukaryotes, with …

Short cationic amphiphilic peptides with antimicrobial and/or immunomodulatory activities
are present in virtually every life form, as an important component of (innate) immune …

Multidrug-resistant bacteria are a severe threat to public health. Conventional antibiotics are
becoming increasingly ineffective as a result of resistance, and it is imperative to find new …

Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an intrinsic part of the human innate immune
system. Over 100 different human AMPs are known to exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial …

Antibiotic resistance is increasing in pathogenic microbial populations and is thus a major
threat to public health. The fate of a resistance mutation in pathogen populations is …

Experimental evolution is the study of evolutionary processes occurring in experimental
populations in response to conditions imposed by the experimenter. This research approach …

Life-threatening infectious diseases are on their way to cause a worldwide crisis, as treating
them effectively is becoming increasingly difficult due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant …

The spread of bacterial drug resistance has posed a severe threat to public health globally.
Here, we cover bacterial resistance to current antibacterial drugs, including traditional herbal …

Endogenous cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) are among the most ancient and
efficient components of host defence. It is somewhat of an enigma that bacteria have not …
