1. Chemical attenuation of bacterial virulence : small molecule inhibitors of type III secretion
Abstract : Despite the large arsenal of antibiotics available on the market, treatment of bacterial infections becomes more challenging in view of the fact that microbes develop resistance against existing drugs. There is an obvious need for novel drugs acting on both old and new targets in bacteria. READ MORE

2. Regulation of the multi-functional protein YscU in assembly of the Yersinia type III secretion injectisome
Abstract : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-negative zoonotic pathogenic bacterium causing gastroenteritis in human and animals. It shares a conserved virulence plasmid encoding for a needle-like secretion machinery, or type III secretion system, which can be found in other pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. READ MORE

3. Statistical molecular design, QSAR modeling, and scaffold hopping – Development of type III secretion inhibitors in Gram negative bacteria
Abstract : Type III secretion is a virulence system utilized by several clinically important Gram-negative pathogens. Computational methods have been used to develop two classes of type III secretion inhibitors, the salicylidene acylhydrazides and the acetylated salicylanilides. READ MORE

4. Biogenesis, function and regulation of the type III secretion translocon of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Abstract : Many Gram negative bacteria use type III secretion systems to cross-talk with eukaryotic cells. Type III secretion system assembly and function is tightly regulated. READ MORE

5. Small molecule inhibitors of type III secretion and their effect on chlamydia development
Abstract : Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause a variety of diseases with clinical and public health importance. Like many Gram-negative bacteria, Chlamydiae employ a type III secretion (T3S) system for invasion and establishment of a protected intracellular niche for successful replication and survival within host cells.
