Evaluation of antimicrobial chemical sequence LL-37 for treatment of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm on titanium plate.

Medicine · 2021

Study scale: Antimicrobial peptides are a class of active antigens induced by the biological immune system, which can resist the infection of a variety of pathogens and are an important part of the innate immune system of multicellular organisms.[1] Compared with traditional antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides have the advantages of broad antibacterial spectrum and faster bactericidal rates.[2,3] With the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains in large numbers, the application of antimicrobial peptides as a new antibacterial agent in clinical treatment has aroused many scholars’ interest, also provided a new idea and means for the treatment of clinical infection.[4–9] Clinically, 80% of human bacterial infections are in the form of biofilm.
