• start to delineate structure–activity relationships (SARs) for SdiA:AHL interactions. Using a cell-based reporter of SdiA in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, several non-natural SdiA agonists and the first set of SdiA antagonists were identified and characterized. These compounds represent new

The analysis of the antimicrobial activity of complexes against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 and Listeria innocua strains revealed an inhibition
