Abstract:
Acinetobacter baumannii, a Gram-negative bacterium, is one of the most important pathogens. Due to the abuse of antibiotics, the detection rate of multi-drug resistant
Acinetobacter baumannii is increasing. Antimicrobial peptides have been considered as alternatives to the treatment of bacterial infections, which are naturally produced from organisms, and have rapid killing and high-efficiency broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. This paper reviewed the function, mechanism and application prospect of several kinds of antimicrobial peptides in the treatment of
Acinetobacter baumannii.
