Table 2 MIC and toxicity of tested peptides. MIC is determined as the lowest test concentration of peptides for microbial viability less than 10%. EC90 is the highest test concentration of peptides for rabbit red blood cell or HaCaT cell viability higher than 90%. Index is the ratio of EC90 to MIC of C. acnes.
