Animal-Derived Antimicrobial Peptides: Emerging Therapeutic Strategies against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens.

It is argued that the realistic near-term contribution of animal-derived AMPs lies in combination therapy with existing antibiotics and in topical or localised indications with direct clinical evidence, while their use as stand-alone systemic agents remains a preclinical and early-clinical prospect rather than an estab...
