Bioactivity | Enterocin K1 (EntK1) is a bacteriocin. Enterocin K1 is a ribosomal synthetic peptide. Enterocin K1 specifically targets Enterococcus faecalis via the Eep protein on the bacterial membrane. Enterocin K1 displays a potent antibacterial activity against VRE. Enterocin K1 can be used for related studies of VRE infections[1]. |
Invitro | Enterocin K1 具有抗菌活性,对不同肠球菌的 MIC 值在 0.048~1.56 mg/mL 范围内[1]。Enterocin K1 (0.01、0.1和1 mg/mL) 在人全血中,没有观察到明显的红细胞溶血作用[1]。Enterocin K1 (1 mg/mL; 0-48 h) 在全血和血浆中培养后,它对细菌素的抑制作用在血浆中比在生理盐水中高 2 倍,在血液中比在血浆中高 2 倍[1]。Enterocin K1 (10 μl of 1 mg/mL; 24 h) 在 spot-on-lawn 实验中抑制细菌素的 MIC 值大多高于 25 mg/ml,具有交叉耐药性[1]。 Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: |
