Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a potential source of antimicrobial agents that could replace antibiotics. AMPs, a broad class of antimicrobial compounds, are found in the immune systems of organisms and are peptides with a high net positive charge and a mixture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions along their length, also known as defense peptides against pathogens mansion. It is believed that the high positive charge enables AMPs to accumulate on the surface of a pathogen’s membrane, formi

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found in the immune system have advantages over conventional antibiotics. These advantages include a broad spectrum of activity, effectiveness against biofilms, and a mechanism of action that makes them less prone to fast. The production of AMPs can be examined under three main categories.Production from Natural SourcesAMPs are derived from animal, plant, and bacterial sources. However, the marine ecosystem constitutes a particularly rich source of antimicrobial pep
