Inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori ATPase Cagα block CagA transport and cag virulence
27 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
With the steadily increasing occurrence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, there is a great need for new antibacterial compounds. The approach described here involves targeting virulence-related bacterial type IV secretion systems (TFSSs) with small-molecule inhibitors. The cag TFSS of Helicobacter pylori was chosen as a model, and novel inhibitors directed against the cag VirB11-type ATPase Cagalpha were...
