Current research has demonstrated that small cationic amphipathic peptides have strong
potential not only as antimicrobials, but also as antibiofilm agents, immune modulators, and …

With the rise in human population across the globe especially in developing countries, the
incidence of microbial infections are increasing with greater pace. On the other hand …

Antimicrobial peptides are an important weapon against invading pathogens and are
potential candidates as novel antibacterial agents, but their antifungal activities are not fully …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have attracted attention in the field of food preservatives due
to their favorable biosafety and potential antimicrobial activity. However, high synthetic cost …

Multidrug resistant bacterial infection has become one of the most serious threats to human
health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified as potential alternatives to …

The increasingly severe bacterial resistance worldwide pushes people to discover and
design potential antibacterial drugs unavoidably. In this work, a series of short, mirror …

With the aim of tackling the increasingly serious antimicrobial resistance and improving the
