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
