Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance is a major global public health issue, leading to the urgent need for new antibacterial agents, especially against tough pathogens like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
- Researchers designed a novel antimicrobial peptide (AMP) called AMP W, which demonstrated strong antibacterial effects against MRSA by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, showing potential as an alternative to traditional antibiotics.
- AMP W proved to be safe for use, exhibiting excellent biocompatibility and significantly reducing bacterial load in skin infection models, highlighting its promising role in treating resistant bacterial infections.
