An empirical Screen for Anti-infectives using Fluorescence microscopy of IntracellulaR Enterobacteriaceae (SAFIRE) was developed. Using this methodology, a library of small molecules and identified antimicrobials that are cell permeable and non-host-toxic were screened. Inhibitors of bacterial efflux pumps were identified as being implicated in antibiotic resistance and are attractive therapeutic targets for antimicrobials.
利用荧光显微镜对细胞内肠杆菌科细菌进行抗感染药物经验筛选(SAFIRE)的方法已经开发出来。利用这种方法,筛选出了一个小分子库,并确定了可渗透细胞且无宿主毒性的抗菌剂。结果发现,细菌外排泵抑制剂与抗生素耐药性有关,是有吸引力的抗菌药物治疗靶点。
