Article Synopsis
- Current antibiotics for drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are very limited, highlighting the need for new solutions.
- Thanatin, an insect-derived antimicrobial peptide, shows promising potency against Gram-negative pathogens by disrupting their outer membrane.
- Research on truncated versions of thanatin led to the development of VF16, which effectively kills bacteria without harming human cells, revealing important structural details for future antimicrobial design.
