Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION AND CLAIM OF PRIORITY

[0002] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0014180 filed on Feb. 1, 2021 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a novel peptide derived from PEP27 peptide and uses thereof.2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Bacterial infections are one of the most common and fatal causes of human disease. Unfortunately, the abuse of antibiotics has resulted in antibiotic resistance of bacteria. Indeed, a rate at which bacteria become resistant to new antibiotics is much faster than a rate at which analogs of new antibiotics are developed. For example, bacterial species such as Enterococcus faecalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which possibly threaten human life, have developed resistance to all antibiotics known to da...
