Abstract
The present invention provides antimicrobials for efficient therapy of infections caused by bacterial pathogens. The antimicrobials include peptides corresponding to the active site of N-terminal extension of subunits composing specific adhesive organelles of virulence of pathogenic bacteria. These antimicrobial peptides inhibit surface expression of adhesive organelles and thus prevent development of infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. The invention describes also effective methods for screening molecules inhibiting the generation of the adhesive organelles.
