Treatment of Bacterial Induced Diseases Using DNA Methyl Transferase Inhibitors.

摘要

Methods for treating and/or preventing disease conditions caused or induced or aggravated by microbes, especially bacteria, by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase activity, such as by administering to an animal a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, are disclosed, along with methods of reducing or ablating virulence in bacteria by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase activity.
