<p>Disclosed are methods for using the essential genes and polypeptides 'S-ydcB', found in Streptococcus pneumoniae, and 'B-ydcB', found in Bacillus subtilis. These genes and polypeptides, as well as homologs and orthologs thereof, can be used to identify antibacterial agents for treating a broad spectrum of bacterial infections.</p> |
