It has been pointed out to me this sentence is incorrect in my earlier post.
"Brilacidin is effective against all Covid 19 strains tested including the Delta variant"
That was my interpretation of this sentence:
"Inhibition extends to different strains of SARS-CoV-2 (alpha, beta, gamma and delta strain
assessments are planned)"
After rereading the summary of the presentation, a more accurate interpretation would be:
Inhibition extends to different strains of Sars-CoV-2. Additional assessments of the alpha,beta,gamma and delta strains are planned
Some of my confusion was reading the article quickly and correlating the numerical description of the viruses with the early Washington and Italian variants. The following article helped me discern each. The Washington variant is called Wa1 and I had wrongly assumed it was the alpha variant since it was the first described in the US in Washington state. The Italian variant is called B1 and I thought it was the beta variant. The current CDC variants of concern are:The B.1.1.7 (Alpha)UK, B.1.351 (Beta)South Africa, B.1.617.2 (Delta)Brazilian, and P.1 (Gamma)Indian
When I quickly scanned the article Thursday morning I interpreted the summary sentence incorrectly.

I apologize for any confusion related to this post.
