Abstract

Cecropins are novel antimicrobial peptides, which are one of the most promising alternatives to antibiotics. They sever as a defense against microbial pathogens in a wide range. This paper reviews the structure, source, biological function of cecropins and their application in plants and animals, and discuses their existing problems and perspectives.
