Methods are provided for screening for potential inhibitors of bacterial, or other microbial, global pathogenesis gene regulators and other gene regulators. Methods are also provided for treating microbial (e.g., bacterial) infections using such inhibitors. Also included are pharmaceutical compositions containing such inhibitors. The screening methods involve detecting whether the activity of a global pathogenesis gene regulator is altered in the presence of a test compound.
