Molecular Docking, Anti-Biofilm & Antibacterial Activities and Therapeutic Index of mCM11 Peptide on Acinetobacter baumannii Strains.

Despite the huge efforts of microbiologists, infectious diseases have yet remained one of the leading causes of death in humans, further highlighting the research priority for controlling opportunistic pathogens. Many researchers have used antibacterial peptides to solve the problem of antibiotic resistance. This research is thus conducted to investigate the antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity of a novel modified cecropin-melittin 11-peptide with improved therapeutic properties and lower side effects.
