We demonstrate here a strategy for enhanced antibacterial activity against microbial strains by the assembly of antimicrobial peptides with a temperature-responsive polymeric carrier. The assembly complex was less toxic to human cells and more stable to enzymatic cleavage. This work may provide a promising drug delivery system for antimicrobial peptides.
