With common bacterial pathogens becoming increasingly resistant to the current therapeutic arsenal, there is a growing need to utilize alternative strategies when developing new antibacterial drugs. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Smith et al. explore the idea of antivirulence drugs by developing inhibitors of the type IV secretion system in Brucella.
随着常见细菌病原体对现有治疗手段的耐药性日益增强,在开发新型抗菌药物时,采用替代策略的需求也越来越大。在本期《化学生物学》中,史密斯等人通过开发布鲁氏菌IV型分泌系统的抑制剂,探讨了抗毒力药物的概念。
