Comment: Dusquetide is a first-in-class innate defense regulator (IDR) that modulates the innate human immune response by binding to sequestosome 1 (p62) [1]. It is effective in the treatment of bacterial infections, acting by modulating the inflammatory response and improving bacterial clearance, rather than having direct antibacterial activity [1].
