Is a global regulator of virulence factor expression and is required for exotoxin A and protease production. Publication Abstract from PubMed Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. Treatment of P. aeruginosa infections is difficult given its multiple virulence mechanisms, intrinsic antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and biofilm-forming ability. Auranofin, an approved oral gold compound for rheumatoid arthritis treatment, was recently reported to inhibit the growth of multiple bacterial species. Here, we identify P. aeruginosa's global virulence factor regulator Vfr as one target of auranofin. We report the mechanistic insights into the inhibitory mechanism of auranofin and gold(I) analogues to Vfr through structural, biophysical, and phenotypic inhibition studies. This work suggests that auranofin and gold(I) analogues have potential to be developed as anti-virulence drugs against P. aeruginosa.
