Inhibition of histidine kinase signal sensing: a novel paradigm for antimicrobial development

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Staphylococcus aureus (Golden staph) has been termed a superbug because of its remarkable ability to acquire resistance to virtually all antibiotics. Until recently, Golden Staph infections were almost always acquired in hospitals, but the increasing incidence of community-acquired S. aureus infections has rendered it a major public health threat in Australia. The aim of this research is to develop antimicrobial agents to combat antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
