Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the traditional Chinese medicine Tanreqing (TRQ) affects the pathogenicity of an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that infects humans, plants, and animals.
- TRQ treatment completely inhibits the production of certain virulence factors and affects the expression of genes regulated by a process known as quorum sensing (QS).
- The research concludes that TRQ formula effectively reduces bacterial virulence and offers potential as a treatment strategy to combat bacterial infections.
