6 Best Peptides for Biofilms
Biofilm disruption is one of the more active frontiers in antimicrobial peptide research, with a handful of compounds drawing serious scientific attention and real-world discussion for their ability to break down or prevent the protective bacterial communities behind chronic infections. This guide covers six peptides and enzymes people are actively researching or using in biofilm-related contexts, from the human-derived cathelicidin LL-37 to the anti-inflammatory tripeptide KPV to the accessible enzyme serrapeptase. The field is almost entirely preclinical for the research-stage compounds, and that is stated plainly for each entry. The compounds are ordered by how prominently each appears in the research literature and in documented real-world use, not ranked as personal recommendations.
