Small Molecule Attenuates Bacterial Virulence by Targeting Conserved Response Regulator

ABSTRACT Antibiotic tolerance within a biofilm community presents a serious public health challenge. Here, we report the identification of a 2-aminoimidazole derivative that inhibits biofilm formation by two pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria, Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus. In S. mut...
