In addition, all the tested peptides displayed good activity against Paecilomyces variotii and Candida parapsilosis with MIC = 4-16 µg/mL. While no activity was observed against the tested strains of A. fumigatus (DI15-116) (MIC ≥ 64 µg/mL), good to moderate activity was observed against the Candida strains (MIC = 8-32 µg/mL). Noticeably, against Paecilomyces variotii, while 7a showed one-fold higher activity (MIC = 4 µg/mL), the rest of the tested peptides displayed the same activity as that of standard antibiotic fluconazole with MIC =8 µg/mL (Table ).
