FIG. 5.

PBD-1 peptides were active against L. monocytogenes. The results of CFU assays with L. monocytogenes EGD are shown. Controls: T₀, initial bacterial inoculum. Bacteria were incubated with the indicated concentrations of PBD-1₄₂ or PBD-1₃₈ at 37°C for 3 h in 10 mM sodium phosphate before being plated on Trypticase soy agar plates. CFU data are shown as the means and standard errors of triplicate determinations.
