Abstract excerpt
We present a new strategy for predicting novel antibiotic mechanisms of action based on the analysis of whole-genome microarray data. We first built up a reference compendium of Bacillus subtilis expression profiles induced by 14 different antibiotics. This data set was expanded by adding expression profiles from mutants that showed downregulation of genes coding for proven or emerging antibacterial targets....
