Antimicrobial Peptides: A Solution for Antibiotic Resistance?

Antibiotic resistance is an ever-growing global health problem. Over the years, bacteria managed to develop strategies to resist antibiotics, urging us to search for alternative options. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the candidates that hold promise for combatting the resistant bacteria. AMPs are one the components of the innate immunity in multicellular organisms, including humans, and their mechanism of action is thought t...
