Figure 1From: Potential novel therapeutic strategies in cystic fibrosis: antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of natural and designed α-helical peptides against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophiliaTime-killing kinetic of AMPs against CF strains. BMAP-27 (■), BMAP-28 (▴), P19(9/B) (×), and Tobramycin () were tested at MIC value against representative P. aeruginosa (Pa6, Pa15, and Pa22), S. maltophilia (Sm138, Sm143, and Sm192), and S. aureus (Sa4, Sa10, and Sa13) CF strains. Controls (♦) were not exposed to drugs. Values are the mean of two independent experiments performed in triplicate. The dotted line indicates a 3-log reduction in viability.Back to article page
