trans-Translation inhibitors bind to a novel site on the ribosome and clear Neisseria gonorrhoeae in vivo

Antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens pose a substantial threat to human health. Here, aided by structural analyses, the authors describe the molecular mechanism behind the activity of a series of compounds that inhibit trans-translation and are effective in eradicating N. gonorrhoeae infection i...

Description
Summary:Antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens pose a substantial threat to human health. Here, aided by structural analyses, the authors describe the molecular mechanism behind the activity of a series of compounds that inhibit trans-translation and are effective in eradicating N. gonorrhoeae infection in mice.
