Anticandida activity is retained in P-113, a 12-amino-acid fragment of histatin 5.
Through the analysis of a series of 25 peptides composed of various portions of the histatin 5 sequence, we have identified P-113, a 12-amino-acid fragment of histatin 5, as the smallest fragment that retains anticandidal activity comparable to that of the parent compound. Amidation of the P-113 C terminus increased the anticandidal activity of P-113 approximately twofold. The three histidine r...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of pleurocidin is retained in Plc-2, a C-terminal 12-amino acid fragment
An analysis of a series of five peptides composed of various portions of the pleurocidin (Plc) sequence identified a l2-amino acid fragment from the C-terminus of Plc, designated Plc-2, as the smallest fragment that retained a antimicrobial activity comparable to that of the parent compound. MIC tests in vitro with low-ionic-strength medium showed that Plc-2 has potent activity against Pseudomo...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of the histatin derivative P-113 against multidrug-resistant pathogens responsible for pneumonia in immunocompromised patients.
The in vitro activity of the histatin derivative P-113, alone or combined with eight antibiotics, was investigated against multidrug-resistant strains isolated from clinical specimens of immunocompromised patients with pneumonia. The gram-negative isolates were susceptible to P-113. S. aureus showed less susceptibility. Synergy was demonstrated when P-113 was combined with beta-lactams against ...
متن کاملIn vitro synergic antifungal effect of MUC7 12-mer with histatin-5 12-mer or miconazole.
OBJECTIVES MUC7 12-mer (RKSYKCLHKRCR), a cationic peptide derived from human salivary MUC7 mucin, exhibits potent in vitro antifungal activity, as determined by killing assays in phosphate buffer. In this study we examined the MUC7 12-mer antifungal activity alone or in combination with other antifungal agents in LYM medium (modified RPMI 1640). METHODS Antifungal activities of MUC7 12-mer an...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of histatin-5 against non-albicans Candida species.
Fungicidal effects of histatin-5 against 26 oral isolates belonging to 5 non-albicans Candida species were examined. Fifty microM of histatin-5 killed more than 95% of Candida tropicalis and Candida guilliermondii isolates and more than 90% of Candida parapsilosis and Candida krusei. However, Candida glabrata was less sensitive to the peptide (mean 62.9%). Our results, taken together, demonstra...
