I'll give it a try and let you know. Thank you very much!!
How to identify TSS sites from bacterial RNA-Seq data?
Hello all,
I know this has been asked a lot, but I am trying to predict TSS sites with bacterial RNA-Seq data (I have a reference genome and annotation). It is standard paired-end RNA-Seq data, not enriched or dRNA-Seq.
I know it can be done, but... I cannot find how. Which programme, R package, etc. can I use??
Thanks a lot.

Perhaps you can try Parsec? It searchs for boundaries in RNA-seq data and therefore identifies transcription start and stop sites. The image below is linked from the Parsec website.

Have you tried DESeq from bioconductor?
No, I haven't! I didn't know it can be used for TSS discovery. Would you mind telling me how? I do not find any TSS mention in the manual.
Here you have some examples http://web1.sph.emory.edu/users/hwu30/teaching/bioc/sgseq-lab.R
