Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
The MICs of Pseudin-2 ranges from 2 to 4 μM (in low ionic strength buffer) against nearly all bacterial strains, except P. aeruginosa, against which it had a MIC of 8 μM. Pseudin-2 also exerts potent antimicrobial activity against antibioticresistant bacteria and pathogenic fungal cells[1].

Gram Staining of Tissue Sections
Gram staining of tissue sections is a histochemical technique used to differentiate Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within histological specimens based on differences in bacterial cell wall structure and dye retention, adapted from classical bacteriological Gram staining into tissue-compatible “histological Gram stain” variants. In tissue applications, modifications of the Brown-Hopps and Brown-Brenn methods are commonly used to improve differentiation of microorganisms embedded within host connective tissue and to reduce overstaining or loss of Gram-negative signal, which are known limitations of earlier approaches. The principle relies on crystal violet-iodine complex retention in Gram-positive organisms and subsequent decolorization and counterstaining steps that allow contrast visualization of Gram-negative organisms against tissue background.
