Abstract

Gram-negative pathogens are a major concern for global public health due to increasing rates of antibiotic resistance and the lack of new drugs. A major contributing factor toward antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is their formidable outer membrane, which acts as a permeability barrier preventing many biologically active antimicrobials from reaching the intracellular targets and thus limiting their efficacy.
