Bactenecin is a cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide (AMP) found in bovine neutrophils. Bactenecin exhibits antibiotic activity, increasing membrane permeability and inhibiting growth. Bactenecin is an effective antibacterial peptide, displaying activity against Burkholderia, Escherichia, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Enterobacter.
