Table 1. Antibacterial activity of asCATH1 and 2.

Bacteria	asCATH1	MIC (µM) asCATH2	LL-37
Y. ruckeri	>80	>80	40–80
V. anguillarum	5–10	10–20	0.63–1.25
E. coli (ATCC 25922)	1.25–2.5	10–20	0.63–1.25

Bacteria were incubated with varying concentrations of cathelicidin peptides for 18 h before absorbance was read at 600 nm to determine bacterial growth. MIC values are shown as the range of concentrations which produced a 50% reduction in growth compared to a control without cathelicidin.
