Thiol-dependent enzymes, including the thioredoxin (Trx) and glutathione (GSH) systems, have recently been found as promising bactericidal targets in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. We previously discovered that silver acted synergistically with ebselen in the inhibition of the Trx system and also resulted in a fast depletion of GSH in Gram-negative bacteria. Silver has been found by others to improve the sensitivity of bacteria to certain conventional antibiotics. Here, we found that the sy ...[more]
