Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) Mined from Human Gut Metagenome Are Effective Against Antibiotic Resistant Pathogens
The collective genomes of the human gut microbiome, known as the metagenome, encode peptides that are effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Problem: Antimicrobial resistance poses a major threat to public health. The development of drug-resistance outpaces traditional drug discovery approaches. As a result, the supply of drugs available to...
