... peptide inhibitors that bind simultaneously to penicillin-binding proteins PBP2b and PBP2x, the two primary resistance determinants in pneumococci.

The idea of targeting both PBP2b and PBP2x is interesting. Since these proteins are involved in antibiotic resistance in pneumococci, it will be important to see how these peptides perform in further laboratory and clinical research.
