Psychedelic mushroom Psilocybe cubensis contains antimicrobial peptides that may inhibit Staphylococcus aureus. Proteomic analysis using LC-MS/MS and gene ontology identified several peptides with favorable binding scores, suggesting potential efficacy against this bacterial pathogen. The findings indicate a promising avenue for discovering novel antimicrobial peptides to combat antibiotic resistance.
