Purpurin suppresses Salmonella invasion of host cells by reducing the secretion of T3SS-1 effector proteins by Zhenxu Shi, Zhimin Guo, Siqi Li, Chenxiao Jiang, Jianfeng Wang, Xuming Deng, Hongtao Liu, Jiazhang Qiu

“…Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1), encoding type three secretion system 1 (T3SS-1), serves as a crucial virulence factor for the invasion of ST into host cells, making it an ideal target for screening anti-Salmonella virulence drugs. This project involved screening of ST invasion inhibitors through a gentamicin protection assay and identified purpurin (PPR) as capable of inhibiting the ST invasion of HeLa cells. …”
