Péptidos antimicrobianos, una alternativa prometedora para el tratamiento de enfermedades infecciosas

Los microorganismos causantes de enfermedades en humanos evolucionan constantemente, lo que representa un reto en la búsqueda de tratamientos efectivos contra estos patógenos. Aun cuando en la actualidad se cuenta con diversas alternativas farmacológicas, estas en ocasiones resultan ineficientes para el control de las enfermedades infecciosas, sobre todo porque los patógenos han generado múltiples mecanismos de resistencia. Los péptidos antimicrobianos se han descrito en muchas especies de organismos: hongos, plantas, insectos y humanos; en la actualidad se presentan como una solución terapéutica que puede ser efectiva. La ventaja de estos péptidos naturales es que llevan evolucionando casi la misma cantidad de tiempo que las especies que producen y su efecto en el control de los microorganismos es muy notable; algunas de estas moléculas son aisladas de organismos vivos y otras se comienzan a producir por métodos sintéticos, lo que permite tener acceso a un sinfín de posibles péptidos con actividades terapéuticas diversas.
