Abstract
Agents and natural and synthetic formulations and extracts are useful in control of pathogen infection and infestation in humans, animals and plants, as well as pathogen contamination in environmental locales. A method inhibits growth or infection or infestation of a pathogen, including contacting the pathogen with an effective amount of a combination of a plant defensin or a functional natural or synthetic derivative or variant thereof and a non-defensin peptide, such as a cathelicidin peptide, a hairpin peptide, a hairpin peptide from which disulfide bridges have been removed, indolicidin, synthetic peptide CP-29, or a peptide derived from a cystatin. The combination of the defensin and peptide are synergistic compared to the use of each alone at the same individual dose as used in the combination.
