Abstract:

The increase in bacterial resistance caused by bacterial biofilms has received widespread attention. Anti-biofilm peptides are a class of antimicrobial peptides with unique advantages in inhibiting and killing bacterial biofilms,and are expected to become ideal new antibacterial drugs against bacterial biofilms. This paper mainly reviews how anti-biofilm peptides interact with biofilm components,the intervention and regulation of anti-biofilm peptides on biofilm formation,the current issues of anti-biofilm peptides and solutions,and the future applications of anti-biofilm peptides.

Key words: bacterial biofilm, anti-biofilm peptide, interaction
