Multiplexed screen identifies a Pseudomonas aeruginosa-specific small molecule targeting the outer membrane protein OprH and its interaction with LPS

Bradley E. Poulsen, Thulasi Warrier, Sulyman Barkho…·Deborah Tan Hung

The paper identifies a Pseudomonas aeruginosa-specific small molecule, BRD1401, that targets OprH and disrupts its interaction with LPS, increasing membrane fluidity.

Perturbation-Specific Transcriptional Mapping for unbiased target elucidation of antibiotics.

Keith P. Romano, Josephine Bagnall, Thulasi Warrier…·Deborah Tan Hung

This paper introduces PerSpecTM, a method to predict antibiotic mechanisms of action by comparing transcriptional responses of new molecules to known perturbations, demonstrating its effectiveness with three new anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa compounds.
