Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Certain compounds are provided that can selectively inhibit motile bacteria such as V. cholerae motility. These compounds can indirectly diminish production of cholera toxin and other major virulence required by the cholera bacterium to cause disease.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting motility of a Vibrio cholerae which comprises contacting the Vibrio cholerae with an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of at least one compound represented by the following formulae:…
