The invention relates to the technical field of biological
pharmacy, and particularly discloses application of antibacterial
small molecule peptide in preparation of antibacterial infection drugs. The antibacterial
small molecule peptide is VeAMP, and the
amino acid sequence of the antibacterial
small molecule peptide is MKIVKRILLVL-NH2. The small molecule peptide VeAMP provided by the invention shows remarkable
antibacterial activity on pan-
drug-resistant
acinetobacter baumannii, has the advantages of rapid sterilization, low
hemolysis, low
cytotoxicity and good in-vivo safety, is not easy to induce bacterial
drug resistance after being exposed for a long time at a sub-inhibitory concentration, can effectively reduce tissue bacterial load, remarkably improves the
survival rate of infected mice, and has a good application prospect. The invention provides a novel and safe candidate
antibacterial agent which is not easy to generate
drug resistance for preventing and treating drug-resistant
acinetobacter baumannii infection.
