Global transcriptional profiling of Staphylococcus aureus treated with sodium houttuyfonate. Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important human and animal pathogen, multiply resistant strains are increasingly widespread, new agents are needed for the treatment of S. aureus. sodium houttuyfonate has potent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. We employed Affymetrix Staphylococcus aureus GeneChipsTM arrays to investigate the global transcriptional profiling of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 treated with sodium houttuyfonate. Keywords: gene expression array-based, count Overall design: Staphylococcus aureus cells were exposed for a certain to sodium houttuyfonate at certain concentration, 6 samples including 3 control samples are analyzed.
