MedKoo Cat#: 145476 | Name: Virstatin

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Virstatin, a small molecule, has been reported to inhibit virulence regulation in V. cholerae. VIRSTATIN has been described to impair the virulence of Vibrio cholerae by preventing the expression of its virulence factor, the toxin coregulated pilus (type IV pilus). Virstatin is a small molecule that inhibits virulence regulation in Vibrio cholerae, thereby preventing intestinal colonization in an infant mouse model for cholera.
