Auranofin exerts broad-spectrum bactericidal activities by targeting thiol-redox homeostasis

Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a rising public health threat and make the identification of new antibiotics a priority. From a cell-based screen for bactericidal compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis under nutrient-deprivation conditions we identified auranofin, an ora...
