Chemical and Biomolecular Insights into the Staphylococcus aureus Agr Quorum Sensing System: Current Progress and Ongoing Challenges

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a ubiquitous bacterium that has become a major threat to human health due to its extensive toxin production and tremendous capacity for antibiotic resistance (e. g., MRSA “superbug” infections). Amid a worsening antibiotic resistance crisis, new strategies to combat this deadly microbe that remove the selective pressure of traditional approaches are in high demand. S. aureus...
