Abstract:Background: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are beneficial compounds that could be used as a new and effective method to suppress microbes. Both Ib-AMP4 and LL37 are antimicrobial peptides with a wide range of antimicrobial activities. This research aimed to evaluate the antibacterial potential of LL37-rIb-AMP4 hybrid protein as an antimicrobial agent against pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, its antibacterial effects against Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE),… Show more
