Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is increasing at an alarming rate. Polymyxin, one of the few antibiotics of last resort, is heavily affected. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Velkov etal. (2018) present a promising alternative: octapeptin lipopeptide antibiotics active against multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, which might help overcoming resistance toward polymyxins.
