Repurposing <i>α</i>-Adrenoreceptor Blockers as Promising Anti-Virulence Agents in Gram-Negative Bacteria
Antimicrobial resistance is among the world’s most urgent public health problems. Diminishing of the virulence of bacteria is a promising approach to decrease the development of bacterial resistance. Quorum sensing (QS) systems orchestrate the bacterial virulence in inducer–receptors manner. Bacteri...
