After treatment, 5 mL of Bacterial RNAprotect (Qiagen) was added for 5 minutes at room temperature. The culture was then centrifuged at 3214 xg for 10 minutes at 4 °C and the supernatant discarded. An RNAeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen; Cat. No. 74134) was used to extract the RNA following the manufacturer's instructions utilizing mechanical lysis for Gram-positive bacteria. Libraries were prepared from ribosomal RNA-depleted total RNA using Illumina Stranded Total RNA Prep, ligation with Ribo-Zero Plus mRNA Library Prep Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Illumina, PN 20037135). Libraries were analyzed for insert size distribution using the 2100 BioAnalyzer High Sensitivity kit (Agilent). Libraries were quantified using the Quant-iT PicoGreen ds DNA assay (ThermoFisher). Paired-end 100 cycle sequencing was performed on a NovaSeq X Plus (Illumina).
