High-throughput Screening of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Streptococcus Quorum-sensing Signal Pathway
16 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
The main components of the quorum-sensing system are expected to be favorable targets for drug development to combat various chronic infectious diseases. ComA of Streptococcus is an ATP-binding cassette transporter containing a peptidase domain (PEP), which is essential for the quorum-sensing signal production. Using high-throughput screening, we found a potent small molecule that suppressed the S. mutans...
