Abstrakt: Screening for new antibiotics remains an important area of biology and medicine. Elucidation of the antibiotic mechanism of action is an indispensable part for this type of research. Preferentially, it should be carried out quickly and cost-effectively, on the stage of primary screening. In this review we describe application of reporter strains for rapid classification of antibiotics by their mechanisms of action, without prior purification of active compounds and determination of their chemical structure.
