Abstract：
:Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive major human pathogen involved in a wide range of human infectious diseases (from minor skin infections to septicemia, endocarditis or toxic shock syndrome). The treatment of S. aureus infections is very challenging due to the emergence of multiple antibiotic-resistant isolates. The high diversity of clinical symptoms caused by S. aureus depends on the precise expression of numerous virulence factors and stress response pathways, which are tightly regulated at every level (transcriptional, posttranscriptional, translational, and posttranslational). During the last two decades, it has become evident that small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) play a major role in fast adaptive responses, mainly by targeting mRNA translation. sRNAs act as antisense RNAs by forming noncontiguous pairings with their target mRNAs and their mechanisms of action vary according to the interaction site. To obtain a global and detailed view of the regulatory networks involved in the adaptive processes of S. aureus, we have adapted the MAPS approach to get individual sRNA targetomes. We also set up different strategies to validate MAPS results and establish sRNA regulatory activities. As this method has been first developed in Gram-negative bacteria, we provide here a protocol for its application in S. aureus and highlight underlying differences. Finally, we discuss several points that have been and could be further improved and provide a workflow file for the automatic analysis of the sequencing in Galaxy.
