Suppressive effects of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) extracted from medfly eggs and antibiotics (streptomycin) on intestinal bacterial strains. Intensity of antimicrobial activity is measured as the diameter of the bacteria-free zone surrounding wells containing 50 μl of the examined solution. Columns denoted by different letters are statistically different (Tukey’s HSD P < 0.05). Comparisons of the response to AMP and streptomycin are indicated by capital or lower case letters, respectively. The response to AMP was independent of the concentration and thus represented by a single letter for both columns
