As described in this Issue, screening antimicrobial peptide (AMP) libraries for biofilm disruption and antimicrobial candidates are promising avenues for the development of new treatment options to eradicate resistance UR - https://mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/1273 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/40969 ER -
