Nanoparticles Enable Efficient Delivery of Antimicrobial Peptides for the Treatment of Deep Infections

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising alternatives of traditional antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria owing to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and low tendency to drug resistance. However, their therapeutic efficacy in vivo, especially for infections in deep o...
