NOVEL AMINO ACID AND PEPTIDE INHIBITORS OF <i>STAPHYLOCOCCUS</i> VIRULENCE

摘要

Isolated synthetic modified amino acids and peptides, which inhibit the production of virulence factors in bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus, are described. The amino acids and peptides can be used in a method for treatment or prevention of Staphylococcal infections or can be integrated into a medical device to inhibit the development of infection associated with the use of such devices.
