Inhibitors of Protein-Protein Interactions to Disrupt Bacterial Iron Homeostasis

BACKGROUND The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria, and a marked decrease in the development of new antibiotics threaten to severely undermine many of the advances in modern medicine. Most antibiotics target a limited number of crucial biological processes, including DNA replication, protein translation, and cell wall biosynthesis. Thus,...

Inhibitors of the BfrB-Bfd Complex for Killing Biofilm Bacteria

BACKGROUND Biofilms are communities of microbes adhering to a surface and often embedded in an extracellular matrix. As a result of this structure, biofilms exhibit resistance to both host immune responses and antibiotics. Approximately 80% of human bacterial infections involve biofilms; this can take the form of chronic wound infections, chronic...
