Molecular farming of antimicrobial peptides: available platforms and strategies for improving protein biosynthesis using modified virus vectors

Abstract The constant demand for new antibiotic drugs has driven efforts by the scientific community to prospect for peptides with a broad spectrum of action. In this context, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have acquired great scientific importance in recent years due to their ability to possess anti...
