MDP1 acetate is a Melittin-derived peptide that alters the integrity of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial membranes, effectively killing bacteria through membrane damage. It demonstrates high-antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and reference strains of S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa.
