A Novel Antimicrobial Peptide from Fish Blood
The inventors isolated a 13-residue peptide from the plasma of Oryzias latipes (Japanese Madeka) and named the antibacterial compound as BING. The compound demonstrated a broad-spectrum antibacterial against a panel of bacteria, including a number of antibiotic resistant and pathogenic strains.
