An antimicrobial therapy kills or hinders the growth of microbes like bacteria, fungi, or protozoans. Therapies that kill microbes are called microbiocidal therapies and therapies that only inhibit the growth of microorganisms are called microbiostatic therapies. It contributes significantly to the quality of life of many people and reduces the morbidity and mortality due to infectious disease.
Antimicrobial peptides or proteins (AMPs) are a distinct class of naturally occurring particles that are produced as a first line of defence by all multicellular organisms. These proteins can have wide activity to directly destroy/kill bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses and even cancer cells. These peptides/proteins are potent, wide-ranging spectrum antibiotics which proves the potential as novel therapeutic agents.
