Combination Strategies to Enhance the Efficacy of Antimicrobial Peptides against Bacterial Biofilms
The great clinical significance of biofilm-associated infections and their inherent recalcitrance to antibiotic treatment urgently demand the development of novel antibiofilm strategies. In this regard, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are increasingly recognized as a promising template for the develop...
