1. A method for inhibiting growth of one or more mycobacterial cells in which an at least two-component regulatory system is conserved, said two-component regulatory system comprises one or more sensor histidine kinase and a cognate response regulator, the method comprising contacting the one or more mycobacterial cells with an effective amount of a compound that inhibits the at least two component regulatory system to thereby inhibit the growth of the one or more mycobacterial cells;
wherein the compound that inhibits the at least two-component regulatory system is an anti-virulence compound or analogs or derivatives thereof selected from the group consisting of HC101C, HC102A, HC103A, HC103B, HC104A, HC105A, and HC106A, or combinations thereof.
