Abstract

Zecifer Chiristiano

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global public health, driving the search for innovative solutions. Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics, offering a multifaceted approach to combat various pathogens. This article explores the multifaceted role of AMPs in tackling infectious diseases, their mechanisms of action and their potential as next-generation therapeutic reagents. We discuss the current challenges in AMP development and the key prospects in this field, shedding light on their clinical applications and future potential.
