Discovery of an anti-virulence compound that targets the <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> SaeRS two-component system to inhibit toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) production
2024-02-27
Abstract excerpt
Menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS) is a rare but severe disorder associated with the use of menstrual products such as high-absorbency tampons and is caused by Staphylococcus aureus strains that produce the toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) superantigen. Herein, we screened a library of 3920 small bioactive molecules for the ability to inhibit transcription of the TSST-1 gene without inhibiting growth of...
