Inhibition of equine arteritis virus by an antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus sp. P34

Abstract

Inhibition of equine arteritis virus by an antimicrobial ABSTRACTP34 is an antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus sp. P34, isolated from the intestinal contents of a fish from the Amazon basin. This peptide showed antibacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and was characterized as a bacteriocin like substance. It was demonstrated that the peptide P34 exhibited antiviral activity against feline herpesvirus type 1 in vitro. The aim of this work was to evaluate P34 for its antiv…
