FraB as a drug target and FraB inhibitors as Salmonella-specific narrow-spectrum therapeutics
TS-059635 — & T2014-282 A method to discover narrow-spectrum antibiotics of salmonellosis, as well as small molecule inhibitors of Salmonella FraB and a Salmonella probiotic strain to enhance the efficacy of FraB inhibitors.
Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is one of the most significant food-borne diseases, in the United States and globally. There are no vaccines available for human use to prevent this disease, and only broad-spectrum antibiotics available to treat the disease. However, antibiotic resistance is on the ris…
