The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens worldwide poses a serious threat to human health care systems. Very limited progress has been made in recent years in the development of new potent antibiotics, so we need new drug development strategies to overcome superbugs. Some promising natural product candidates are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from various organisms, which represent some of the possible solutions against superbugs.
AMPs to Combat Resistant Bacteria
AMP is an important candidate for the development of novel antibiotics. AMPs are a diverse class of molecules that serve as a first line of defense against microbial threats. More than two thousand AMPs have been identified and isolated from a wide range of organisms, including plants, insects, amphibians, humans, and even bacteria.
Our service is to help researchers find natural AMPs, explore their mechanisms of antimicrobial activity, and optimize antimicrobial activity and minimize toxicity and production costs, using AMP as a natural model for developing novel antibiotics in the future.
