Novel Cecropin-4 Derived Peptides against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

Increasing microbial resistance, coupled with a lack of new antimicrobial discovery, has led researchers to refocus on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as novel therapeutic candidates. Significantly, the less toxic cecropins have gained widespread attention for potential antibacterial agent development...
