The recombinant peptide showed activity against E. coli DH5alpha or WT E4 or E9 (MBC 0.2-0.4 uM), B. megaterium ATCC 14581 (MBC 0.1 uM), and S. aureus ATCC 12600 or MRSA ATCC 43300 or ATCC 33393 or WT 344 355 or 358 (MBC 0.4-0.8 uM). In particular, synthetic version of the peptide with C-terminal amidation inhibits gram-positive vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis ATCC 51299 (MBC 1.6 uM) (anti-VRE) and 4 strains E. faecium strains 354, 356, G70 and G71 (MBC 0.4-0.8 uM). It was also active against gram-negative ESBL strain K. pneumoniae (MBC 0.4-0.8 uM).
