Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Peptide Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria

Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Peptide Resistance in Gram-Negative Bacteria

Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) are important innate immune defenses that inhibit colonization by pathogens and contribute to clearance of infections. Gram-negative bacterial pathogens are a major target, yet many of them have evolved mechanisms to resist these antimicrobials. These resistan...
