Table 1 show the effects of ACE inhibitory peptide DFHINQ on three Gram-positive (B. cereus, L. monocytogens, and S. aureus) and three Gram-negative (S. Typhimurium, E. Coli, and P. aeruginosa) pathogens. Only E. coli was sensitive against peptide DFHINQ at all treated concentrations. Table 1. Antimicrobial activity of the synthetic peptide DFHINQ on six pathogens
