ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for said inhibition of drug resistance. In one embodiment, said invention provides methods and compositions for said inhibition of antibiotic resistance. The invention generally involves said administration of achaogens, agents that inhibit said mutational process, to inhibit said evolution of drug resistance. Also, described herein are compositions that are suitable for use as achaogens.
