Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to review the potential use of liposomes and peptides to address the ongoing challenges in infectious diseases involving antimicrobial resistance. The First section of this chapter describes and discusses the use of liposomes as model membrane to gain an insight on the membrane binding and disruption behavior of the potent peptides. Under this section, various biophysical techniques used to characterize the interactions are reviewed. In the second section, the use of antimicrobial peptides as an alternative to conventional antimicrobial therapy is presented. The final section of this chapter reviews liposomal encapsulation of antimicrobial peptides as an effective delivery strategy.
