An antibacterial peptide derived from the skin of bullfrog and application thereof
By combining the antimicrobial peptide GSVGPVGPR derived from bullfrog skin with retinoic acid, bacterial cell membranes are disrupted, overcoming the limitations of using high-concentration retinoic acid alone. This achieves a rapid and thorough sterilization effect against Staphylococcus aureus, making it suitable for use in antimicrobial drugs and feed additives.

AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, high concentrations of retinoic acid have an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, but the effective concentration is high, and the value of using it alone is limited. In addition, there is a risk of drug resistance. It is necessary to develop new antimicrobial peptides to solve this problem and to use them in combination with retinoic acid to improve antimicrobial efficiency.
An antimicrobial peptide, GSVGPVGPR, derived from bullfrog skin, is provided. By disrupting bacterial cell membranes and combining with the effects of retinoic acid, it forms a synergistic effect, achieving rapid and thorough sterilization.
The combination of this antimicrobial peptide and retinoic acid significantly improves the sterilization speed and efficiency, reduces the concentration used, and decreases cytotoxicity and cost. It is suitable for the preparation of antimicrobial drugs and feed additives and has broad application prospects.
