    • Peptide having antimicrobial activity against pathogens and antimicrobial peptide composition comprising the same

    • Abstract

    • An antimicrobial peptide and an antimicrobial peptide composition comprising the same are provided. The antimicrobial peptide and the antimicrobial peptide composition have remarkably high antibacterial activity against gram-positive (+) and gram-negative (−) bacteria, compared to wild-type LPcin-I having an antimicrobial ability, which consists of a sequence of 24 amino acids. Also, the antimicrobial peptide can be useful in being easily synthesized and saving production costs since the antimicrobial peptide has a smaller number of amino acids, compared to the wild-type LPcin-I.
