Engineered peptide PLG0206 overcomes limitations of a challenging antimicrobial drug class.
The absence of novel antibiotics for drug-resistant and biofilm-associated infections is a global public health crisis. Antimicrobial peptides explored to address this need have encountered significant development challenges associated with size, toxicity, safety profile, and pharmacokinetics. We de...
