It also kills three oral microorganisms (grown planktonically): S. gordonii, F. nucleatum, and P. gingivalis (Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2007 May
51(5):1837-9). WLBU2 also reduced the bacterial burden of S. gordonii and F. nucleatum biofilms. The minimal DNA bundling concentrations of LL-37 and WLBU2 are similar to the concentrations necessary to ensure effective bacteria killing. CSA-13, a member of the ceragenin family, like natural LL37 or synthetic WLBU2 and HB71 peptides targets the bacterial wall through interactions with LPS and LTA. The ability of CSA-13 to maintain its bactericidal activity in the presence of negatively charged F-actin and DNA and the observed additive effect of CSA-13 with rhDNase I suggest that this synthetic antibiotic has potential advantages in treating chronic infection in CF airways (J Antimicrob Chemother. 2007 Sep
60(3):535-45).
