Therapeutic strategies that target bacterial virulence have received considerable attention. The type III secretion system (T3SS) is important for bacterial virulence and represents an attractive therapeutic target. Recently, we developed a new small-molecule inhibitor belonging to a class 2,4-disubstituted-4H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazine-5-ones, Fluorothiazinon (FT-previously called CL-55).

Here, we proposed a therapeutic approach to control salmonellosis based on adoptive cell therapy. We showed that the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of salmonella-specific memory cells contains 20% of TCR variants with the dominant-active α-chain.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is important for bacterial virulence and represents an attractive therapeutic target. A novel compound with a predicted T3SS inhibitory activity named CL-55 (N-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazine-2-carboxamide) was previously characterized by low toxicity, high levels of solubility, stability and specific efficiency toward Chlamydia trachomatis in vitro and in vivo.

Aim: Study parameters of chronic infection and immune response in I/St and A/Sn line mice in the model of per oral infection of mice with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
Materials And Methods: Studies were carried out in I/StSnEgYCit (I/St), A/JsnYCit (A/Sn) inbred line mice as well as their back crossing hybrids [I/StrxF1(I/StxA/Sn)]BC. Mice were infected per os by S.
Mice of I/St strain develop severe lung inflammation and die shortly following infection with virulent mycobacteria. The susceptibility does not depend on the Nramp1 gene, as I/St mice carry its resistant allele, but is controlled by little interacting QTL mapped to chromosomes 3, 9, 17. To find out whether the tuberculosis-susceptible I/St mice are susceptible to other intracellular bacteria taxonomically distant pathogen of Chlamydia pneumoniae was studied.
