The present invention provides:
a peptide having
antibacterial activity; a composition for preventing or treating
sepsis comprising same; and an antibacterial composition. More specifically, the
peptide according to the present invention has the excellent effects of not only suppressing the growth of
bacteria but removing endotoxins derived from
bacteria, thus exhibiting an excellent
therapeutic effect on
sepsis, and thus can be usefully used to prevent or treat
sepsis. In addition, the
peptide according to the present invention has selectively excellent
antibacterial activity against
Gram positive / negative
bacteria, and thus can be usefully used in an antibacterial composition for
Gram-positive / negative bacteria, or to prevent or treat various infectious diseases caused by
Gram-positive / negative bacteria. Furthermore, the
peptide according to the present invention exhibits excellent resistance against
proteolytic enzymes, and is highly stable, and thus is expected to be utilized in various forms, such as a pharmaceutical composition, a cosmetic composition, a food composition, a
health food composition, a feed composition, and a quasi-
drug composition.
