ABSTRACT
Antibacterial compounds with novel modes of action are needed for management of bacterial infections. Here we describe a high-content screen of 9,800 compounds identifying acylated sulfonamides as novel growth inhibitors of the sexually transmitted pathogen
Chlamydia trachomatis
. The effect was bactericidal and distinct from that of sulfonamide antibiotics, as para-aminobenzoic acid did not reduce efficacy. Chemical inhibitors play an important role in
Chlamydia
research as probes of potential targets and as drug development starting points.

治疗细菌感染需要具有新型作用模式的抗菌化合物。在此,我们描述了对 9,800 个化合物进行的高含量筛选,发现酰化磺酰胺类化合物是性传播病原体
沙眼衣原体
.这种抑制剂具有杀菌作用,与磺胺类抗生素不同,对氨基苯甲酸不会降低药效。化学抑制剂在
衣原体
研究中发挥着重要作用。
