Figure 2.

Killing kinetics of TB, TB_L1FK, and TB_KKG6A against S. aureus ATCC 33591 (A) and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 (B). Bacteria were incubated in sodium-phosphate buffer (10 mM SPB, pH 7.4) with the peptides at concentrations equal to their MBCs for various times. Control (CTRL) represents untreated bacteria. Solid line indicates a reduction of ≥3 Log₁₀ in the number of control bacteria at each time of incubation. A number of 10 CFU/mL was taken as detection limit. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of at least three independent experiments.
