Antimicrobial Peptide Synergies for Fighting Infectious Diseases
Combination of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with other antimicrobial agents provides a new arsenal of drugs with synergistic action. The mechanism of action by AMPs is an advantage over antibiotics as it hinders the development of drug resistance. The synergistic effect of AMPs allows the repurposing of conventional antimicrobials, enhancing their ...
