A small-molecule inhibitor of the bacterial type III secretion system protects against in vivo infection with Citrobacter rodentium

In vivo infection study using mice clearly indicated that the administration of aurodox allowed the mice to survive a lethal dose of Citrobactor rodentium, a model bacterium for human pathogens such as EPEC, and directly demonstrated for the first time that this putative T3SS inhibitor can be applied as a novel class of anti-infective agents.

In vitro and in vivo antimalarial activities of a non-glycosidic 18-membered macrolide antibiotic, borrelidin, against drug-resistant strains of Plasmodia.

The antimalarial profile of borrelidin is reported here, a known nonglycosidic 18-membered macrolide antibiotic with a cyclopentanecarboxylic acid side chain, in comparison with those of clinically used antimalaria drugs.
