Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections such as sepsis and endocarditis. In recent years, the emergence and increase of methicillin-resistant and multidrug-resistant S. aureus has posed a great challenge to the antibiotic treatment of infectious diseases. Anti-virulence strategies targeting virulence factors are an effective new therapy for the treatment of S. aureus infections.
