ABSTRACT:
Peptide-based compounds containing multiple proline residues are useful as preservatives and in preventing, treating, or ameliorating microbial infection, especially Gram-negative bacterial infection in animals and plants, in treating conditions characterized by the presence of LPS. These compounds are of the formula ##STR1## including the N-terminal acylated and/or C-terminal amidated or esterified forms thereof
