We have identified the bacterial signal recognition particle (SRP) as a novel antibacterial target. As a proof of principle, we used an antisense peptide nucleic acid to target a key SRP RNA. The PNA molecules showed efficient inhibition of SRP function and bacterial cell growth, thereby validating our hypothesis.
