Can the microbiome help the fight against infections?

Animals and humans coexist with a vast array of microorganisms known as the microbiome, forming a relationship that can range from mutually beneficial to pathogenic. To safeguard against harmful pathogens and maintain the presence of beneficial microorganisms, animals have evolved various defenses.One is small antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), small peptides that combat invading microbes. AMPs are […]
