The functions of sortase bacterial enzymes and their surface-protein substrates are reviewed. Their role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases such as pneumonia, septic endocarditis, septic arthritis, mastitis, and cutaneous and gastrointestinal infections are discussed. The importance of sortases for the pathogenesis of the aforementioned diseases has been studied in animal models. Well-known and potential natural and synthetic sortase inhibitors are considered possible compounds for the treatment of these infectious diseases.
