Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Properties of a Natural Peptide from <i>Vespa mandarinia</i> Venom and Its Synthetic Analogues as a Possible Route to Defeat Drug-Resistant Microbes

Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Properties of a Natural Peptide from <i>Vespa mandarinia</i> Venom and Its Synthetic Analogues as a Possible Route to Defeat Drug-Resistant Microbes

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from wasp venom have a good track record and potential for drug development as tools against development of antimicrobial resistance. Herein, the biological function and activity profile of peptide VM, which was discovered in the venom of the wasp, <i>Vespa</i&...
