Article Synopsis
- The study investigates dermaseptin S4 (DS4) and its derivatives, isolated from the skin of Hylidae frogs, focusing on their antimicrobial properties against marine pathogenic bacteria.
- DS4 (1-26)a shows the highest antibacterial effectiveness and low toxicity to red blood cells compared to other tested peptides, damaging the bacteria's membranes and cell walls.
- The findings suggest that DS4 and especially DS4 (1-26)a could be promising for treating infections in marine environments, warranting further in vivo studies for potential applications in fish health.
