An amphipathic peptide with antibiotic activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria
A. G. Elliott, J. X. Huang, et al.
Discover the potential of peptide antibiotics with the innovative research conducted by Alysha G. Elliott, Johnny X. Huang, and their team. They have optimized the peptide arenicin-3, leading to the development of AA139, which shows remarkable efficacy against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria with significantly reduced cytotoxicity. This breakthrough promises new avenues in treating infections that resist current last-resort antibiotics.
