Biological/Functional activity & target protein
Antimicrobial activity

(1) Exerts, in vitro, a potent antimicrobial activity. probably due to an impairment of the function of the respiratory chain and of energy-dependent activities in the inner membrane of susceptible microorganisms.
(2) Bactenecin 5 efficiently kill Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Klebsiella
pneumoniae. It also arrest the growth of Enterobacter cloacae (MICs, 25 to 200 ug/ml) but not of Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus agalactiae (MIC, >200 ug/ml). The datas as follows:
      Organism and strain                          Mueller-Hinton(ug/ml)        Iso-Sensitest(ug/ml)
