Figure 1 Two-Dimensional Cluster Analysis of S. aureus Fitness Test Profiles for the Crude Extract, Kibdelomycin, and Four Compounds of Known Mechanism of Action Strain depletions are depicted in magenta, strain resistances in cyan. The thresholds for including strains in the cluster analysis are >5-fold depletion, p-value ≤ 0.01 in at least 4 of the experiments for any one compound or extract. The compound name is followed by the treatment concentration. Profiles for the Crude Extract and Kibdelomycin cluster tightly with profiles of the antibiotic Novobiocin. The antisense strains targeting the 2 subunits of DNA gyrase (gyrA, gyrB) and DNA topoisomerase IV (parC, parE) are shown in red.

Figure 3 Inhibition of Macromolecular Synthesis of Kibdelomycin Inhibitory effects across increasing concentrations were determined by measuring incorporation of radiolabeled precursors of either DNA (14C-thymidine), RNA (3H-uridine), phospholipid (2-3H-glycerol), protein (3H-leucine), or cell wall (14C-glycine) in S. aureus strain EP167.
