Investigations into the therapeutic potential of antimicrobial peptides: applications for treating topical Staphylococcus aureus infections

In this study, resistance towards antimicrobial peptides developed rapidly in MRSA, but resistance was mitigated by controlling the environment in which the cells are treated. Resistance was not stable in a population and seemed to sensitise some cells to certain antibiotics. Antibacterial peptides...
