High-throughput Screening of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Streptococcus Quorum-sensing Signal Pathway

Abstract The main components of the quorum-sensing system are expected to be favorable targets for drug development to combat various chronic infectious diseases. ComA of Streptococcus is an ATP-binding cassette transporter containing a peptidase domain (PEP), which is essential for the quorum-sensi...
