Peptide antibiotics are a class of antimicrobial agents composed of amino acid chains that target bacterial cell membranes or cell wall synthesis. They are primarily used to treat serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The market is growing due to the rising prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), increasing hospital-acquired infections, and ongoing development of novel peptide-based therapeutics.
