  • Broad spectrum pro-quorum-sensing molecules as inhibitors of virulence in vibrios
    Patent number: 9573908
    Abstract: Using a whole-cell high-throughput screen, eleven molecules were identified that activate V. cholerae quorum sensing (QS). Eight molecules are receptor agonists and three molecules are antagonists of LuxO, the central NtrC-type response regulator that controls the global V. cholerae QS cascade. Pro-QS molecules are used for the development of novel anti-infectives.
