Abstract excerpt
Numerous Gram-negative pathogens rely upon type III secretion (T3S) systems to cause disease. Several small-molecule inhibitors of the type III secretion systems have been identified; however, few targets of these inhibitors have been elucidated. Here we report that 2,2'-thiobis-(4-methylphenol) (compound D), inhibits type III secretion in Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa....
