Title
Fighting Fire with Fire: Computational Prediction of Microbial Targets for Bacteriocins.
Abstract
Recently, we have witnessed the emergence of bacterial strains resistant to all known antibacterials. Due to several limitations of existing experimental methods, these events justify the need of computer-aided methods to systematically and rationally identify new antibacterial agents. Here, we propose a methodology for the systematic prediction of interactions between bacteriocins and bacterial protein targets. The protein-bacteriocin interactions are predicted using a mesh of classifiers previously developed by the authors, allowing the identification of the best bacteriocin candidates for antibiotic use and potential drug targets.
