EFFECTS OF PROLINE-RICH PEPTIDES OF THE INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM ON DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIAL STRAINS

Resistance of pathogenic microorganisms to conventional antibiotics is growing rapidly in recent years, accompanying with an increase of mortality caused by hospital-acquired infections. Therefore, a search for novel drugs to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria is one of the priorities in biomedici...
