Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides: current and potential applications in biomedical therapies.
Highlights
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are part of the innate response elicited by most living forms
The clinical uses of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are among the most promising alternative options to circumvent the proliferation of antibiotic resistant pathogens
AMPs are produced by a wide variety of organisms and have a broad and largely nonspecific activity, a characteristic that strongly qualifies them as potent candidates for pharmacological applications
Summary
AMPs are part of the innate response elicited by most living forms. In plants, they are produced ubiquitously in roots, seeds, flowers, stems, and leaves, highlighting their physiological importance.
