From: Structural Studies of a Lipid-Binding Peptide from Tunicate Hemocytes with Anti-Biofilm Activity
Anti-biofilm evaluation of clavanin (A). Flow cell assays were performed by using peptide concentration at a standard concentration of 16 μg.ml−1. Left and right panels correspond to untreated and peptide-treated Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Clavanin A (16 μg.mL−1) was able to disturb pre-formed (2 days old) biofilms of MRSA and KPC-K. pneumoniae 1825971 in flow cell experiments, eliminating biofilm formation completely for the MRSA strain and strongly reducing the thickness of K. pneumoniae.
