[0064] The above bacteria were inoculated into LB solid culture medium for activation. The activation conditions were as follows: inverted culture in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 18 to 24 hours. Then pick a single colony on the LB solid culture medium and add it to the newly prepared and high-temperature sterilized LB liquid culture medium. Culture it in a constant temperature shaker at 180rpm and 37°C until the logarithmic growth phase of the bacteria. Take 2ml of the logarithmic growth phase bacterial solution and centrifuge it at 3500rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the bacterial solution with 0.9% saline.

The activation conditions were as follows: inverted culture in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 18 to 24 hours. Then, a single colony was picked from the YM solid culture medium and added to the newly prepared and high-temperature sterilized YM liquid culture medium. The culture was cultured in a constant temperature shaker at 180rpm and 37°C until the fungus was in the logarithmic growth phase. Take 2ml of the logarithmic growth phase bacterial solution and centrifuge at 3500rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the bacterial solution with 0.9% saline. Repeat the washing of the fresh bacterial solution 3 times and finally resuspend the bacterial solution with an appropriate amount of saline. Use a pipette to take 200μl of the bacterial solution and add it to a sterile 96-well plate. The microplate reader detects its light absorbance at 600nm and calculates the value according to 1OD600=1×10 9 CFU / ml was used to calculate the bacterial concentration. The bacterial concentration was diluted to 2×10 5 CFU / ml. The drug was then diluted using a two-fold gradient dilution method. 100 μl of saline was added to a sterile 96-well plate in advance. 200 μl of the antimicrobial peptide of Example 1 (200 μg / ml) was added to the first well. 100 μl was pipetted and added to the second well, mixed and diluted in sequence. 100 μl was discarded from the last well. Finally, 100 μl of a 2×10 5 CFU / ml bacterial solution was pipetted and mixed, and then placed in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 16 to 24 hours. The light absorption value of the bacterial solution at 600nm was detected by an ELISA instrument, and the wells where no bacterial growth was detected were taken as the minimum inhibitory concentration, i.e., the MIC value.

[0067] 4. Minimum inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial peptides against different standard strains. See Table 1 for the results.

[0068] Table 1 Minimum inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial peptides against different standard strains

[0069] Bacteria strain MIC (μg / ml) S. aureus (ATCC6538) 6.25 A.baumannii (ATCC19606) 25 P.aeruginosa (ATCC9027) 12.5 E.coli (ATCC25922) 12.5 C.albicans (ATCC10231) 12.5

[0070] The results showed that SP-15 has a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and has obvious antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa and E. coli) and fungi (C. albicans).

[0071] Test Example 2 Minimum inhibitory concentration of the antimicrobial peptide of Example 1 against different clinical strains

[0076] Bacteria strain MIC (μg / ml) MRSA-Z (clinical drug-resistant bacteria of S. aureus) 6.25 MRSA11 (clinical drug-resistant bacteria of S. aureus) 6.25 MRSA22 (clinical drug-resistant bacteria of S. aureus) 6.25 CRAB (clinical drug-resistant bacteria of A. baumannii) 25 CRPA (clinical drug-resistant strain of P. aeruginosa) 25

[0077] The results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration of SP-15 against clinical drug-resistant strains was equivalent to that of standard strains.

[0078] Comparative Test Example 1 Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Vancomycin against Different Clinical Strains in Test Example 2

[0079] The MIC determination method was the same as that in Experimental Example 1.

[0080] The experiments showed that the MICs of the clinical drug vancomycin against MRSA-Z, MRSA 11 and MRSA22 were 1.56 μg / ml, 3.125 μg / ml and 0.39 μg / ml, respectively. It can be seen that the antibacterial ability of the antimicrobial peptide SP-15 of the present invention against some MRSA is close to that of vancomycin.

[0081] Test Example 3 Cytotoxicity of the Antimicrobial Peptide of Example 1

[0082] The determination method is as follows:

[0083] 1) Take out the human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) frozen in the liquid nitrogen tank in the laboratory and put them into a preheated 37℃ water bath for rapid thawing. Centrifuge at 1500rpm for 5min at room temperature, then discard the supernatant on a sterile clean bench and resuspend them in DMEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Then transfer them to a cell culture bottle and culture them in a 5% carbon dioxide, 37℃ constant temperature cell culture incubator.

[0084] 2) CCK8 detection of sample cytotoxicity

[0085] After 1 to 3 days of culture, when the cells are observed to cover the bottom of the culture flask under a microscope, discard the culture medium and wash once with PBS. Add 1 ml of trypsin to the cell culture flask and gently shake the culture flask. When the cells are observed to fall off the culture flask, use fresh DMEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin to terminate the digestion and mix with a pipette. Count the cell suspension with a cell counter and adjust its concentration to about 1×10 5 / ml. Add the diluted cell suspension to a sterile 96-well plate, 100μl per well, and add 100μl of PBS buffer to the outermost well of the sterile 96-well plate to maintain the humidity in the plate. Culture in a 37C constant temperature cell culture incubator overnight to allow the cells to adhere to the wall. After the cells adhere to the wall, use a pipette to remove the culture medium and add 200μl of the sample to be tested diluted with DMEM culture medium at different concentrations. The concentration gradient is set to 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 0μg / ml, and 4 replicates are set for each concentration. Place in a constant temperature incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 24h, and add 10μl CCK8 to each well. Continue to incubate in the incubator for about 2 to 4h, and use a multifunctional microplate reader to detect the absorbance at 450nm.

The collected blood was mixed with sterilized Ash solution at a volume ratio of 1:1, centrifuged at 1500rpm for 5min, and the supernatant was discarded. Then the red blood cells were repeatedly washed with physiological saline for 3 to 5 times until the supernatant no longer appeared red after centrifugation. The red blood cells were resuspended in an appropriate amount of physiological saline, and the red blood cell concentration was adjusted so that the absorbance value of 100μl red blood cell suspension plus 100μl TritonX-100 (10%) at 540nm of the microplate reader was 0.7 to 0.8. Then the sample to be tested was prepared into 100μl of different gradient concentrations and added to a 96-well plate (each concentration was set to 3 replicates), and then 100μl of red blood cell suspension was added and incubated in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator for 30min, followed by centrifugation at 1500rpm for 5min, and the supernatant was aspirated and the light absorption value at 540nm was detected by a microplate reader. The concentrations of the samples to be tested were 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg / ml, and the positive drug was 10% by volume of TritonX-100.
