Antimicrobial Peptides Pom-1 and Pom-2 from <i>Pomacea poeyana</i> Are Active against <i>Candida</i><i>auris</i>, <i>C. parapsilosis</i> and <i>C. albicans</i> Biofilms

Recently two peptides isolated from the Cuban freshwater snail <i>Pomacea poeyana</i> (Pilsbry, 1927) were described to have antimicrobial activity against bacterial pathogens. Here we show considerable activities of Pom-1 and Pom-2 to reduce the viability of <i>C. albicans</i&g...
