What is it about?
Antimicrobial peptides are the short sequences of protein synthesized by other organisms that we utilized to see the antibiotic abilities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Why is it important?
Due to resistance of gram-negative bacteria against peptide antibiotics especially polymyxin B, this study finds importance among resistant bacteria
Perspectives
The bacteria Pseudomonas sp causes deadly sepsis and antimicrobial peptide from Aedes aegypti potentially synergize with tetracycline (clinical antibiotic) and rescued Pseudomonas infected wax moth that warrants further validation to be a potential peptide antibiotic.
