Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious threat to global health. The rapid emergence of resistance contrasts with the slow pace of antimicrobial development, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative drug discovery approaches. This study addresses a critical bottleneck in early drug development by introducing integral solvent-induced protein precipitation (iSPP) to rapidly assess the target–engagement of lead compounds in extracts of pathogenic microorganisms under close-to-physiological conditions. iSPP measures the change in protein stability against solvent-induced precipitation in...
