High-Throughput Screening of Inhibitors Targeting<i>Agr</i>/<i>Fsr</i>Quorum Sensing in<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>and<i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>
6 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis employ cyclic peptide-mediated quorum sensing (QS) systems, termed agr and fsr respectively, to regulate the expression of a series of virulence genes. To identify quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) that target agr/fsr systems, an efficient screening system was established. In addition to the gelatinase-induction assay to examine E. faecalis fsr QS, the use of an S....
