Broad spectrum insect antimicrobial peptide.

Cecropin B is a natural linear cationic ?-helical antimicrobial peptide (AMP) originally identified in insects. Cecropin B has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activities against gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and fungal phytopathogens, killing bacteria by affecting the integrity of the bacterial membranes. Cecropins constitute a main part of the innate immune system of insects.
