Summary: Since its pathogenicity is related to bacterial motility, the protein PilT from the twitching motility system has been chosen as the host target. Using rational drug design, based on a detailed comprehension of the protein host structure, small molecules were designed in order to block the activity of the protein and provoke the loss of the bacterium pathogenicity.
