Anti-infective Effects of a Fish-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria and Its Synergistic Effects With Antibiotic

Anti-infective Effects of a Fish-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria and Its Synergistic Effects With Antibiotic

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play pivotal roles in protecting against microbial infection in fish. However, AMPs from topmouth culter (Erythroculter ilishaeformis) are rarely known. In our study, we isolated an AMP from the head kidney of topmouth culter, which belonged to liver-expressed antimicro...
