Antibacterial properties of tuftsin and its analogs
Abstract
The antibacterial properties of tuftsin and its 11 analogs on 20 bacterial strains were investigated. Tuftsin showed a definite antibacterial effect at a minimal effective concentration of 62.5 micrograms/ml. All analogs were either less effective or lacked any activity. The bacteria used included some highly pathogenic organisms.
