RNA-seq of Streptococcus anginosus in a mono- and multispecies biofilm
S. anginosus, S. aureus LMG 10147 and P. aeruginosa DK2 are often co-isolated in sputum samples from cystic fibrosis patients. We found that S. anginosus LMG 14502 becomes less suceptible towards treatment with several antibiotics when it's grown together with S. aureus LMG 10147 and  P. aeruginosa DK2, compared to when it's grown alone. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible,  we performed RNA-seq of an S. anginosus monospecies biofilm and of a multispecies bioiflm of S. anginosus, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa.  First, biofilms of S. anginosus alone or in combination with S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were grown. Next, RNA was isolated. Subsequently, a Truseq stranded RNA library preparation kit (Illumina) was  used to create strand specific libraries. After a quality and concentration control, the libraries were equimolarly pooled and sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq 500, generating 75?bp unpaired reads.
