"bacteria do not seem to develop resistance" - Dr. Quentin Michaudel

The press release is (predictably) more cavalier in its claim!

All this release says is that the polymers "[disrupt] the membrane of these microorganisms". At that level of detail, penicillin works similarly, and is vulnerable to resistance.

I'd love to know more detail about how this is a different kind of disruption.
