Adaptive evolution of Escherichia coli to an α-peptide/β-peptoid peptidomimetic induces stable resistance.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and synthetic analogues thereof target conserved structures of bacterial cell envelopes and hence, development of resistance has been considered an unlikely event. However, recently bacterial resistance to AMPs has been observed, and the aim of the present study was to...
