Abstract
Methods for identifying compounds that are inhibitors of bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis are disclosed. Such compounds can be used as lead compounds in methods for preparing antibacterial agents for treating bacterial infections (e.g., in humans, animals, and plants). Inhibitors of bacterial fatty acid synthesis can also be tested for their ability to inhibit synthesis of acylated homoserine lactones. Compounds that inhibit synthesis of acylated homoserine lactones can be used as inhibitors of bacterial virulence. The disclosed methods allow for high throughput screening of libraries of test compounds.
