A 2-Pyridone-Amide Inhibitor Targets the Glucose Metabolism Pathway of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Chlamydia trachomatis</named-content>

ABSTRACT In a screen for compounds that inhibit infectivity of the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis, we identified the 2-pyridone amide KSK120. A fluorescent KSK120 analogue was synthesized and observed to be associated with the C. trachomatis surface, suggesting that its target...
