The purpose of this review was to investigate the targets and mechanisms of antimicrobial peptides secreted by MSCs. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections through either inhibiting or killing the target bacteria. Recent studies have found that MSCs play an important role in the treatment of diseases, including infections, by producing antimicrobial peptides [12, 13, 14] . Due to the unique characteristics of antimicrobial peptides, these peptides are one of the main candidates in the treatment of bacterial diseases and are effective on antibiotic resistant strains and even cancer cells. Antibacterial effect of human mesenchymal stem cells is mediated in part from secretion of the antimicrobial peptide LL-37	./cache/cord-003948-npijn7co.txt	./txt/cord-003948-npijn7co.txt
