Garvicin KS, GakB

Garvicin KS, GakB is a peptide at sizes of 34 amino acids to form bacteriocin garvicin KS (GarKS), with other 2 peptides, GakA, and GakC. Garvicin KS, GakB inhibits fibroblast viability and proliferation. Garvicin KS, GakB with GakA, is a potent combination with good peptide stability, antimicrobial efficacy, and fibroblast viability/proliferation effects. Garvicin KS peptides inhibit MSSA with MIC values in the order GakB >GakC >GakA[1].
