ABSTRACTSpider venoms are vast natural pharmacopoeias selected by evolution. The venom of the ant spiderLachesana tarabaevicontains a wide variety of antimicrobial peptides. We tested six of them (latarcins 1, 2a, 3a, 4b, 5, and cytoinsectotoxin 1a) for their ability to suppressChlamydia trachomatisinfection. HEK293 cells were transfected with plasmid vectors harboring the genes of the selected peptides. Controlled expression of the transgenes led to a significant decrease ofC. trachomatisviability inside the infected cells.
