Antimicrobial Activity Of Partially Purified Peptides Isolated From The Skin Secretions Of Bornean Frogs In The Family Of Ranidae
The emergence of drug resistant bacteria has now become a major public health problem worldwide (Cohen, 2000; Kumarasamy et al., 2010; Sengupta et al., 2013).

| Summary: | The emergence of drug resistant bacteria has now become a major public health problem worldwide (Cohen, 2000; Kumarasamy et al., 2010; Sengupta et al., 2013). WHO report (2017) on global surveillance of antimicrobial resistance revealed a widespread development of resistance in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria which had threatened millions of people worldwide. A rapid increase in number of drug-resistant bacteria and incidence nosocomial infections pose a challenge to conventional therapies using existing antibiotics, leading to the need in finding alternative microbicides to control these infections (Lakshmaiah et
al., 2015). Thus, a discovery of new and effective
treatments that can replace current available
antibiotics has become a critical area of research
globally. |
