Abstract: The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria make the bad or invalid therapeutic effect of the currently used antibiotics used to combat bacterial infections, which severely harm the human and animal health, and every effort to develop novel antibacterial agents are in great needed. Antimicrobial peptides have emerged as effective broad-spectrum therapeutic agents with a promising substitute for antibiotic, and antimicrobial peptides have been a primary focus of new drug research worldwide. This paper deals with an overview of the types, bioactivities, antibacterial mechanisms, selection methods. The problems in applications of the antibacterial peptides and prospects for future researches are also mentioned.
Key words: antimicrobial peptides; research progress; application prospect
