Cryptotanshinone inhibits Staphylococcus aureus NdhC via uncompetitive inhibition: Collateral sensitivity in respiratory-deficient SCVs

Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SCVs) pose a clinical challenge due to antibiotic tolerance and recurrent infections. Targeting the bacterial respiratory chain offers a potential strategy to overcome SCV-mediated resistance. Here we show that cryptotanshinone (CT) se...
