Sub-MIC effects of a proline-rich antibacterial peptide on clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii.

CONCLUSION: Bac7(1-35) is internalized into A. baumannii and is able to inhibit biofilm formation and bacterial motility, without inducing resistance. This study stresses the importance of considering possible effects that antimicrobials could have at sub-MICs, mimicking a common condition during antibiotic treatment.
