Effective Healing of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>-Infected Wounds in Pig Cathelicidin Protegrin-1-Overexpressing Transgenic Mice

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to existing treatments for multidrug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds. Therefore, the effect of protegrin-1 (PG1), a potent porcine AMP with broad-spectrum activity, on wound healing was evaluated. PG1-overexpressing transgenic mice were use...
