Article Synopsis
- Microbiomes, especially the rumen microbiome, present opportunities for biotechnological applications, particularly with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that can fight infections.
- In this study, several AMPs from the rumen were effective against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing strong antimicrobial activity and the ability to inhibit biofilm formation.
- The AMPs demonstrated low toxicity to human cells, targeted bacterial membranes, and were successful in an in vivo model, indicating their potential as therapeutic agents for P. aeruginosa infections.
