01
Overview
A bacterial virulence modulator refers to any molecule, protein, or regulatory system in bacteria that influences the expression or activity of virulence factors—traits that enable bacteria to infect hosts, evade immune responses, and cause disease. These modulators can be intrinsic bacterial proteins (such as transcriptional regulators), non-coding RNAs, signaling molecules involved in quorum sensing, or even external factors. Targeting bacterial virulence modulators offers the potential to disarm pathogens without exerting strong selective pressure for resistance, preserving beneficial microbiota compared with broad-spectrum antibiotics.
