Structurally Refined β‐Lactones as Potent Inhibitors of Devastating Bacterial Virulence Factors
10 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Disarmed forces: Inhibition of the central virulence regulator ClpP by structurally refined beta-lactones resulted in dramatically reduced production of devastating virulence factors, including pyrogenic toxin superantigens derived from pathogenic multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. Targeting of this virulence regulator could present an attractive strategy for neutralizing the harmful effects of...
