Potential therapeutic use of dermaseptin S4 from the frog <i>Phyllomedusa sauvagii</i> and its derivatives against bacterial pathogens in fish
These results suggest that DS4 and its derivatives, in particular the truncated and amidated peptide DS4 (1-26)a could be effective in the treatment of infections caused by these marine pathogenic bacteria. Future studies are required to validate the use of DS4 in vivo for the prevention of bacterial diseases in fish.
