ABSTRACT:
Compositions of the current invention are directed toward inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, particularly fungi. The compositions consist of chemically-synthesized antibiotics comprising certain amino acids. Methods of identifying particular antibiotic compositions from libraries of such compositions are disclosed. In addition, methods for preventing microbial growth in plants and animals are disclosed. Methods and compositions are also disclosed which relate to synergistic combinations of inhibitory peptides with other antimicrobial compounds.
