CpxA Phosphatase Inhibitor Activates CpxRA and Is a Potential Treatment for Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in a Murine Model of Infection
17 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
The increasing prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a major public health concern. Bacteria contain proteins that sense their environment and have no human homologs and, thus, are attractive drug targets. CpxRA is a conserved sensing system whose function is to reduce stress in the bacterial cell membrane; activation of CpxRA reduces...
