Table 2.

Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of peptide U-MYRTX-Mrug5a against various strains of bacteria. The concentration required to inhibit at least 95% of growth is compared to the control. The MIC for L. monocytogenes was determined manually from the MBC test plus information from the MIC growth curve.

Strain	MIC [µM]	MBC [µM]
Listeria monocytogenes	(50)	50
Micrococcus luteus	6.25	6.25
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 50071	None	None
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1117	None	None
Staphylococcus aureus	100	not to determine
Staphylococcus epidermidis	50	50
Escherichia coli DE3	50	50
