Abstract
The spread of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens is a growing global concern and has prompted an effort to explore potential adjuvant and alternative therapies derived from nature's repertoire of bactericidal proteins and peptides.

Human lysozyme is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, ac
