KT2 is a cationic amphipathic antibacterial peptide that targets bacterial membranes. It exhibits potent antibacterial activity against E. coli O157:H7, demonstrating complete bactericidal effects and significant inhibition of biofilm formation. KT2 interacts with bacterial surface lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and penetrates lipid layers, facilitating its binding to DNA and other cytoplasmic components, making it a valuable reagent for research in antimicrobial therapies and biofilm-related studies.
