Antimicrobial resistance is a global concern because is present in every country. Bacterial biofilm is associated with many persistent infections and increased resistance to antibiotics. Diguanylate cyclase enzymes (DGC) are an attractive target for antibiofilm drug intervention. Drug repurposing strategy resulted in DGC inhibitors discovery from therapeutics drugs using the integration of computational and biochemical assays. Details are presented in the Article Identification of Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Hypertensive Drugs as Inhibitors of Bacterial Diguanylate Cyclases by Helton J. Wiggers, Édson Crusca, Éverton E. D. Silva, Juliana Cheleski, Naiara U. Torres and Marcos V. A. S. Navarro on page 297.
