Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compositions and methods for combinatorial drug discovery in nanoliter droplets are described. Novel synergistic agents that increase efficacy of antibiotic agents to treat bacterial infection are disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising an antibiotic selected from the group consisting of vancomycin, cycloserine, fosfomycin, novobiocin, erythromycin, tetracycline, ampicillin, trimethoprim, chloramphenicol, and norflaxacin, and combinations thereof and Iodophenpropit. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibiotic is novobiocin. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibiotic is erythromycin. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibiotic is chloramphenicol. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibiotic is vancomycin. 6. A method of treating a subject having a bacterial infection comprising administering to the subject a composition of claim 1 . 7. A method of potentiating antibacterial activity of an antibiotic in a subject having a bacterial infection comprising administering to the subject the antibiotic with a composition of claim 1 .
