Antibiotic Class Emerges through Digestive Enzyme, find out

Drug-resistant organisms kill an estimated 23,000 people in the U.S. every year, and it is predicted that by 2050 antimicrobial drug resistance will lead to more than 10 million deaths worldwide annually, the researchers write. “… new treatment options to combat antibiotic resistance are urgently needed.” In the hunt for new antibiotic classes, antimicrobial peptides, also known as host defence peptides (HDP), represent what the authors describe as “promising alternative” to conventional antibiotics.
