Savirin

Savirin (S. aureus virulence inhibitor) is a small molecule that targets the agr (accessory gene regulator) quorum sensing system in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) . The agr system is a key regulatory pathway that controls the expression of virulence factors in S. aureus, which are critical for its pathogenicity. The system involves a two-component signal transduction pathway consisting of AgrC (a histidine kinase) and AgrA (a response regulator) .
