Aspirin has been shown to cause a reduction in the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus-associated endocarditis. A new study reveals that salicylic acid, the major metabolite of aspirin, acts at the level of transcription to downregulate the production of fibrinogen, fibronectin, and alpha-hemolysin - virulence factors necessary for bacterial replication in host tissues and, now, potential therapeutic targets.
阿司匹林已被证明可降低金黄色葡萄球菌相关性心内膜炎的毒力。一项新研究表明,阿司匹林的主要代谢产物水杨酸在转录水平发挥作用,下调纤维蛋白原、纤连蛋白和α-溶血素的产生,这些是细菌在宿主组织中复制所必需的毒力因子,也是目前潜在的治疗靶点。
