Popis: The rapid emergence and prevalence of multidrug-resistant salmonellosis lack effective therapies, which causes epidemic health problems and stimulates the development of antimicrobials with novel modes of action. In this research, 10 short symmetrical β-hairpin peptides are synthesized by combining the β-turn of Leucocin-A with recurring hydrophobic and cationic amino acid sequences. Those designed peptides exhibited potent antibacterial activities against drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Salmonella. One of the 10 peptides, WK2 ((WK)
