Abstract:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as a promising class of bioactive molecules with the potential to combat infections associated with medical implants and biomaterials. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of antimicrobial peptides in medical implants and biomaterials, along with their diverse clinical applications. The incorporation of AMPs into various medical implants and biomaterials has shown immense potential in mitigating biofilm formation and preventing impl… Show more
“…153 Notably, the antibiofilm action shown by many AMPs also opens up to their use in the development of biomaterials endowed with intrinsic antimicrobial activity, which could limit the insurgence of infections. 154,155…”
While the rise of superbugs and new resistance mechanisms continues decreasing the effectiveness of classical antiobiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are emerging as a new class of antimicrobials. Still, several drawbacks...
