Killing kinetics of AvBD-6 and AvBD-12 against different bacterial concentrations. Bacteria (105, 107, and109 CFU/ml) were treated with 32 μg/ml of at 37 °C for various times. a Killing kinetics of AvBD-6. b Killing kinetics of AvBD-12. Log reduction of CFU at each time point for each bacterial concentration was used to demonstrate the absolute number (relative to % killing) of bacteria by AvBDs. Data are presented as means ± SD (n = 3). Asterisks denote significant difference (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) in killing activity of each AvBD between different bacterial concentrations: 105 CFU/ml (▲), 107 CFU/ml (■) and 109 CFU/ml (♦)
