A NOVEL ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE ISOLATED FROM BUFO BUFO GARGARIZANS

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel antimicrobial peptide isolated from Bufo bufo gargarizans. The antimicrobial peptide of the invention consists of 40 amino acid residues, has a molecular weight of about 4330Da, and shows strong antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and negative bacteria, and fungi as well. According, it can be applied for the development of antimicrobial drug for the treatment of external wound and eye trouble, stimulation of injury care, and oral cleaness.
