Figure Lengend Snippet: Peptide toxicity and in vivo antibacterial activity in E. coli -infected waxworms. For toxicity testing, both peptides were evaluated at concentrations of 1× MIC, 2× MIC, and 4× MIC. The green line (Caerin 1.1-LC 4× MIC) completely overlaps with the red line (Caerin 1.1-LC 2× MIC). An equivalent injection volume of PBS served as the growth control group. For the antibacterial study, an equal volume of bacterial suspension without peptide treatment was used as the untreated control group.
Article Snippet: E. coli ATCC BAA-2340 were grown in 25 mL of tryptic soy broth (TSB) for 2.5 h to the mid-log phase, then washed three times with a solution containing 5% TSB in 0.85% NaCl by centrifugation (3000× g , 10 min).
