Article Synopsis
- Bacterial infections are a major health threat, with antibiotic resistance making treatment particularly difficult, especially for staphylococcal infections.
- Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) like the Cry10Aa protein show potential as alternatives to traditional antibiotics due to their unique properties and effectiveness against multidrug-resistant bacteria.
- The study developed six peptide variants using the Joker algorithm, revealing that two specific peptides (AMPCry10Aa_1 and AMPCry10Aa_5) effectively killed bacteria within two hours, remained stable in human serum, and showed low toxicity to human cells.
