Dimerization as a strategy to engineer antimicrobial peptides for application against enteric bacterial pathogens of poultry

This study aimed to investigate the use of phage display in discovering novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and to test the effectiveness of improving AMP activity by dimerization. AMPs are an emerging avenue of research showing potential to circumvent the antibiotic resistance crisis that is devel...
