Beta-defensin derived cationic antimicrobial peptides with potent killing activity against gram negative and gram positive bacteria

BACKGROUND: Avian β-defensins (AvBD) are cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, chemotactic property, and low host cytotoxicity. However, their bactericidal activity is greatly compromised under physiological salt concentrations which limits the use of the...
