Antimicrobial peptides derived from temporin Sha

Temporins are natural antimicrobial peptides identified in amphibians with a broad spectrum of activity against many pathogens. The present invention relates to a range of antimicrobial peptides derived from temporin SHa (isolated from Pelophylax saharica frog skin) and exhibiting enhanced antibacterial, antiparasite and antifungal activity. Furthermore, they present a natural resistance to biodegradation due to their specific structure.
