Targeting bacterial virulence as a means of blocking pathogenicity is a promising new strategy for disarming pathogens. Furthermore, it is believed that this new approach is less susceptible towards resistance development. Recent examples of antivirulence approaches addressing different virulence traits will be presented and discussed in this session.
