Antimicrobial Peptides Stave Off Salmonella in Chickens

Antibiotic use in farm animals helps mitigate foodborne illness but contributes to antibiotic resistance. Small, bacteria-targeting peptides could solve both problems.

Salmonella living within macrophages can survive antibiotic treatment and potentially give rise to resistance by two different mechanisms that slow or arrest their growth.
