Resumo(s): | [Excerpt] For many years, antibiotics have been the most widely used antimicrobial agents to fight infections. However, their excessive consumption has led to an alarmingly high development of resistance by microbial pathogens, raising a serious global, public-health problem (Felgueiras 2021, Lewies et al. 2019, Rončević et al. 2019). Hence, the growing search for alternatives to these agents. In recent years, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been the focus of great interest since they are the most widespread and evolutionarily conserved components of the innate immune system, acting as a primary line of host defense against microbial infections (Magana et al. 2020). |
