    The Quinazolinone Allosteric Inhibitor of PBP 2a Synergizes with Piperacillin and Tazobactam against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

    The quinazolinones are a new class of antibacterials with in vivo efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The quinazolinones target cell wall biosynthesis and have a unique mechanism of action by binding to the allosteric site of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP 2a).
