Bactenecin 7 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). Bactenecin 7 also has MICs of <200 rg/ml for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The datas as follows:
