Abstract:The enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium relies on the activity of effector proteins to invade, replicate, and disseminate into host epithelial cells and other tissues, thereby causing disease. Secretion and injection of effector proteins into host cells is mediated by dedicated secretion systems, which hence represent major virulence determinants. Here, we report the identification of a synthetic small molecule with drug-like properties, C26, which suppresses the secretion of effector prot… Show more
