Bacteria must divide to increase in number and colonize their niche. Binary fission is the
most widespread means of bacterial cell division, but even this relatively simple mechanism …

The continuous emergence and rapid spread of a multidrug-resistant strain of bacterial
pathogens have demanded the discovery and development of new antibacterial agents. A …

Antimicrobial resistance to virtually all clinically applied antibiotic classes severely limits the
available options to treat bacterial infections. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop and …

Widespread antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens is a serious threat to public
health. Thus, identification of new targets and development of new antibacterial agents are …

Binary fission is the most common mode of bacterial cell division and is mediated by a
multiprotein complex denominated the divisome. The constriction of the Z-ring splits the …

With the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, there is a dire need for new drug
targets for antibacterial drug discovery and development. Filamentous temperature sensitive …

In recent years, the rise of antibiotic resistance has become a primary health problem. With
the emergence of bacterial resistance, the need to explore and develop novel antibacterial …

The global spread of bacterial antimicrobial resistance is associated to millions of deaths
from bacterial infections per year, many of which were previously treatable. This, combined …

Combating anti-microbial resistance by developing alternative strategies is the need of the
hour. Cell division, particularly FtsZ, is being extensively studied for its potential as an …

The increasing incidences of multidrug resistant bacterial infections urge the development of
novel antibacterial having a new mechanism of action. The small molecule-based inhibitors …
