Abstract: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have gained increasing attention to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens. dCATH (duck cathelicidin) is a 20-residue avian cathelicidin with potent bactericidal activity. However, its therapeutic application is limited due to high mammalian cell cytotoxicity.… read more here.
