Targeting c-di-GMP Signaling, Biofilm Formation, and Bacterial Motility with Small Molecules
Abstract
Bacteria possess several signaling molecules that regulate distinct phenotypes. Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) has emerged as a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates bacterial virulence, cell cycle, motility, and biofilm formation. The link between c-di-GMP signaling and biofilm formation affords novel strategies for treatment of biofilm-associated infections, which is a major public health problem. The complex c-di-GMP signaling pathway creates a hurdle in the development of small molecule modulators. Nonetheless, some progress has been made in this regard and inhibitors of c-di-GMP metabolizing enzymes that affect biofilm formation and motility have been documented. Herein we discuss the components of c-di-GMP signaling, their correlation with biofilm formation as well as motility and reported small molecule inhibitors of c-di-GMP signaling.
