Tet-20

Overview

Tet-20 is a synthetic peptide derived from cathelicidin, a well-known antimicrobial protein. This innovative peptide has been rigorously tested for its effectiveness as an infection-resistant coating for medical devices. When Tet-20 is tethered to an implant surface, it exhibits a notable ability to combat microbial growth, both in vivo and in vitro. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities make it a promising alternative in healthcare applications where preventing infection is critical.
