But antimicrobial peptides are not so powerful to act as antibiotic drugs on their own. Thus according to the MIT news report scientists are hoping to tackle these peptides as potential antibiotics. Now they have discovered that other peptides in the human body can also have potent antimicrobial effects expanding the pool of new antibiotic candidates. According to a new study researchers from the University of Naples
