eng Abstract:
Short cationic peptides play an important role in the innate immunity of all living organisms. Some of the 700 peptides described so far have become a potential source of new antibiotics to combat the increasing emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. Haemolymph of larvae of the fleshfly were chosen as a source of such peptides.
