The antiproliferative peptide Ctn[15‐34] is active against multidrug‐resistant yeasts Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans

Crotalicidin (Ctn), a cathelicidin‐related antimicrobial peptide from the South American rattlesnake venom gland, and its C‐terminal Ctn[15‐34] fragment, have exhibited important activities against micro‐organisms, trypanosomatid protozoa and certain lines of tumour cells. Herein, the activity against clinical strains of fluconazole‐resistant Candida albicans and of amphotericin B and fluconazole‐resistant Cryptococcus neoformans was...
