Protein Anti-microbial Potential Of The Skin Secretion Of Human Commensal And Forest Edge Frog (Anuran) Species From Langkawi Archipelago

Amphibians are the most diverse terrestrial vertebrates and are essential for conserving the environment since they act as biological indicators. Furthermore, frogs were one of the primary sources of bioactive compounds for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. A total of 24 species of amphibi...
