I don't think there was much, if any, concern about bacterial resistance to Brilacidin. According to Polymedix, its action is completely different from current antibiotics, which must enter the bacteria to work. Bacteria have developed ways to deal with antibiotics that work that way, including automatically ejecting the antibiotic before it has the chance to kill.

Brilacidin works by disrupting the outer skin of the bacteria, causing it to basically explode. According to Polymedix, bacteria would have to completely change their structure to counter Brilacidin's action, something that is highly unlikely.
