Chemical Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Suppresses Capsule Production

Capsule polysaccharide is a major virulence factor for a wide range of bacterial pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae. The biosynthesis of Wzy-dependent capsules in both Gram-negative and –positive bacteria is regulated by a system involving a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and a protei...
