Sortase as a target of anti-infective therapy.
The rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a major concern, in particular because it includes many different species of pathogenic microbes. These "superbugs" are further characterized by high levels of virulence and disease-associated mortality. There seems to be few new antibiotics in the drug discovery pipeline; recent work has sought to define and validate new drug targets. The assembly o...
متن کاملAntimicrobials from Cnidarians. A New Perspective for Anti-Infective Therapy?
The ability of microbes to counter the scientific and therapeutic advancements achieved during the second half of the twentieth century to provide effective disease treatments is currently a significant challenge for researchers in biology and medicine. The discovery of antibiotics, and the subsequent development of synthetic antimicrobial compounds, altered our therapeutic approach towards inf...
متن کاملSystemic anti-infective periodontal therapy. A systematic review.
BACKGROUND Periodontal diseases are infections and thus systemically administered antibiotics are often employed as adjuncts for their control. There are conflicting reports as to whether these agents provide a therapeutic benefit. RATIONALE The purpose of this systematic review is to determine whether systemically administered antibiotics improve a primary clinical outcome measure, periodont...
متن کاملOligopeptide Targeting Sortase A as Potential Anti-infective Therapy for Staphylococcus aureus
Sortase A (SrtA)-catalyzed anchorage of surface proteins in most Gram-positive bacteria is indispensable for their virulence, suggesting that this transpeptidase is a promising target for antivirulence therapy. Here, an oligopeptide, LPRDA, was identified as an effective inhibitor of SrtA via virtual screening based on the LPXTG substrate sequence, and it was found to inhibit SrtA activity in v...
