Recently, it has been an increasing problem of drug-resistant bacteria in a hospital. One of candidates effective against these bacteria is an antimicrobial peptide. This study was aimed at discovery of novel antimicrobial peptides from identified peptides using peptidomic analysis. We screened them based on antimicrobial activity and found two novel antimicrobial peptides including AMP-IBP5. AMP-IBP5 is an intramolecular disulfide-linked 22-residue amidated peptide. This peptide showed antimicrobial activity stronger than β-defensin-2 and could become candidates for new drugs.
