Abstract excerpt
Validation of antibiotic mode of action in whole bacterial cells is a key step for antibiotic drug discovery. In this study, one potential drug target, enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (FabI), an essential enzyme in the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway, was used to evaluate the feasibility of using a regulated antisense RNA interference approach to determine antibiotic mode of action. Antisense isogenic...
