*Antifungal compounds that have no activity against bacteria. ^†Antibacterial broad spectrum. ^#Reported as narrow spectrum antibiotic by Paik et al. (1998). ^$Each test done in triplicate and optical density (OD₆₀₀) of antimicrobial peptide treated wells were compared with uninoculated wells (blank medium control).
