Small-molecule inhibition of the <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi</i> deubiquitylating enzyme OtDUB impairs bacterial reproduction
2026-06-26
Abstract excerpt
Scrub typhus is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi . While antibiotic treatment is generally effective, it requires extended treatment, and drug resistance and treatment failures have emerged. O. tsutsugamushi encodes a deubiquitylating enzyme, OtDUB, which interferes with host ubiquitin-dependent pathways. OtDUB cleaves ubiquitin from var...
