Resistance Mechanisms to Antimicrobial Peptides in Gram-Positive Bacteria

The authors discuss the mechanisms exploited by Gram-positive bacteria to circumvent killing by antimicrobial peptides. Specifically, the most clinically relevant genera, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp. and Gram-positive bacilli, have been explored.
