Abstract
⺠Most Escherichia coli isolates from animals are found to contain multiple antimicrobial resistance genes. ⺠Mastoparan-AF exhibits potent antimicrobial activity against most E. coli isolates as compared with clinically used antibiotics tested. ⺠Mastoparan-AF shows rapid bactericidal activity against E. coli within a short period of time. ⺠Mastoparan-AF acts synergistically with cephalothin or gentamicin against antibiotic-resistant E. coli isolates.
