A promising class of antimicrobial molecules is the family of lectins,since lectin molecules have unique hydrocarbon- recognizing capacities, and pathogens are often decorated with sugars that affect their survival and infectivity [Francois et al., 2012]. Lectins are defined as carbohydrate binding proteins without catalytic activity that are prevalent in all organisms. They often have important functions in cell signaling and cellular interactions [Dias et al.enantibacterial agentsbacterial biofilmsbacterial infectionsantimicrobial moleculesfamily of lectinsArticle
