RE: Stopping Post Surgical Infections With Small Pieces of Protein (Peptides)
Is there any reason why the health practitioners are not administering a combo of the WLBU2 peptide, and the standard penicillin antibiotics? It is always sad to see someone die as a result of infection after a successful surgery.
There are a lot of problems at the moment. They do aggregate, are chemically and physically unstable, have short half-lives in plasma. While their antibiotic activity is top notch and is improving, now is full of engineering problems.

Engineering problem is something we would always have. Thanks for the link.
I don't think the peptide has gone through human clinical trials yet.
Ok. That is reasonable then, my primary fear in going under the knife is the post-op complications.
