Antimicrobial Peptides – Overview
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are naturally occurring tiny compounds present in a wide range of organisms, including people, plants, and animals. They are essential in innate immunity, as they protect against microbial infections. The antimicrobial activity of AMPs is broad-spectrum, targeting bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even some parasites. Their distinct method of action involves breaking microbial membranes, resulting in cell death, and they are resistant to resistance formation. AMPs have sparked attention in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other infectious disorders due to their potential therapeutic applications. However, there are still issues in optimizing their stability and bioavailability for therapeutic usage, necessitating continuous study.
