Antimicrobial Peptides

Grab attention with cutting-edge science and real-world impact: Antimicrobial Peptides by Luis H. Reyes, Juan C. Cruz, and Gregory R. Wiedman offers a clear, authoritative exploration of peptide-based defenses revolutionizing infection control.

This engaging volume guides readers through the biology, chemistry, and therapeutic potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Combining rigorous scholarship with practical insight, the authors explain mechanisms of action, strategies to overcome antibiotic resistance, and pathways from bench to bedside. Case studies and translational perspectives illuminate how AMPs are being developed for topical treatments, systemic therapies, and medical-device coatings.

Ideal for researchers, clinicians, pharmaceutical scientists, and advanced students, the book balances molecular detail with clinical relevance. Learn how AMPs interact with bacterial membranes, modulate innate immunity, and can be engineered for enhanced stability and specificity. Chapters discuss regulatory considerations, formulation challenges, and emerging trends in peptide therapeutics and biotechnology—essential knowledge for anyone working in infectious disease, drug development, or public health.

Relevant to healthcare and research communities worldwide—from hospitals and laboratories in North America and Europe to growing biotech hubs in Latin America, Asia, and Africa—this title provides actionable insights that support global efforts to curb resistant infections and improve patient outcomes.

Clear, authoritative, and forward-looking, Antimicrobial Peptides is a must-read for professionals seeking practical strategies and the scientific foundations behind the next generation of antimicrobial agents. Order your copy today and stay at the forefront of antimicrobial innovation.
