Attenuation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection by INP0341, a salicylidene acylhydrazide, in a murine model of keratitis

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and a major cause of corneal infections worldwide. The bacterium secretes several toxins through its type III secretion system (T3SS) to subvert host immune responses. In addition, it is armed with intrinsic as well as acquired antibiotic resistanc...
