摘要: Many bacterial pathogens rely on a conserved membrane histidine sensor kinase, QseC, to respond host adrenergic signaling molecules and signals in order promote the expression of virulence factors. Using high-throughput screen, we identified small molecule, LED209, that inhibits binding preventing its autophosphorylation consequently inhibiting QseC-mediated activation gene expression. LED209 is not toxic does inhibit pathogen growth; however, this compound markedly several vitro vivo animals. Inhibition offers strategy for development broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs.
