This antimicrobial peptide with the sequence NGNLLGGLLRPVLGVVKGLTGGLGKK has been isolated from the skin of a Patagonian frog Pleurodema thaul (Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae). The peptide is active against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus and shows acceptable levels of tolerance at MIC concentrations on eukaryotic cells (Marani et al, 2017).
