Copper as a magic bullet for targeted microbial killing.

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The innate toxicity of copper can be exploited as an antimicrobial. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology Festa and colleagues report the use of QBP, a prochelator form of the metal-chelate 8-hydroxyquinolone, which allows for targeted copper-dependent microbial killing at sites of infection.
