Abstract

An isolated polypeptide is disclosed comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 2773-5544 and 11089-11094, wherein the polypeptide has antimicrobial activity. Uses thereof for treating microbial infections are also disclosed.

Claims (10)

1. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3001, thereby killing the microbe.

2. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NON: 2773, thereby killing the microbe.

3. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2774, thereby killing the microbe.

4. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2775, thereby killing the microbe.

5. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2776, thereby killing the microbe.

6. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2777, thereby killing the microbe.

7. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2778, thereby killing the microbe.

8. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2779, thereby killing the microbe.

9. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2780, thereby killing the microbe.

10. A method of killing a microbe, the method comprising contacting the microbe with an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a toxin as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2781, thereby killing the microbe.
