| pubmed-article:20370621 | pubmed:abstractText | As the breadth and number of bacterial pathogens exhibiting antibiotic resistance is rapidly increasing, our ability to treat new and re-emerging infectious diseases is being threatened. Therefore, the development of new therapeutic strategies, including drugs acting on new targets, is required. In this review, the feasibility of gram-negative bacterial secretion systems for the development of anti-virulence agents and possible arenas for their utility in therapeutic intervention of gram-negative bacterial infections such as gastroenteritis, nosocomial infections, and venereal diseases are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
