Acetyl-Adhesin (1025-1044) amide

This acetylated 20-amino acid peptide amide corresponds to residues 1025-1044 of the Streptococcus pyogenes adhesin. It acts as an antimicrobial agent by blocking bacterial adhesion to salivary receptors, thereby inhibiting recolonization. This makes it a valuable tool for studying anti-biofilm strategies and host-pathogen interactions in both in vitro and in vivo research models.
