Fig. 4From: Functional structure and antimicrobial activity of persulcatusin, an antimicrobial peptide from the hard tick Ixodes persulcatus Short time killing assay. We selected each 3 strain MSSA and MRSA used in growth inhibition test. As a control, the same in the growth inhibition test was prepared. a In MSSA, MS-3 shows high sensitivity and MS-1 and MS-2 show low sensitivity to IP in 1Â h. In both cases, IP has dose dependent bactericidal activity. b In MRSA, IP shows strong bactericidal activity in 1Â h and dose dependent effect against all 3 strains. The means and standard deviations of triplicate determinations are presentedBack to article page
