Emergent resistance to all clinical antibiotics calls for the next generation of therapeutics. Here we report an effective antimicrobial strategy targeting bacterial hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-mediated defense system. We identified cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) as primary generator H2S in two major human pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, discovered small molecules that inhibit CSE. These inhibitors potentiate bactericidal against both pathogens vitro mouse models...
