Cecropins are named after the giant silk moth, Hyalophora cecropia, from which they were isolated originally (Steiner et al, 1981; Boman and Steiner, 1981). These peptides constitute a large family of antibacterial and toxic peptides isolated from a variety of lepidoptera and diptera species. They perform host defense functions and often act in synergy, providing rapid nonspecific defence against invading microorganisms (Tamang and Saier, 2006; Bulet and Stocklin, 2005). Most of these natural broad-spectrum peptide antibiotics have limited cytotoxicity to human cells and are being developed as therapeutics against pathogens resistant to classical antibiotics. For antimicrobial peptides with high similarity cecropins, derived from Helicobacter pylori ribosomal protein RPL1 [
