Bovine Lactoferrin and Lactoferrin-Derived Peptides Inhibit the Growth of and Other species.

is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, some of which can cause serious infectious diseases. Vibrio infections are associated with the consumption of contaminated food and classified in infections and non-cholera infections. In the present study, we investigate whether bovine lactoferrin (bLF) and several synthetic peptides corresponding to bLF sequences, are able to inhibit the growth or have bactericidal effect against and other species.
