ABSTRACT:
Methods for screening for compounds which potentiate the activity of antibacterial agents against bacteria resistant to the antibacterial agent alone, pharmaceutical compositions including such potentiators, and methods of treating bacterial infections using a combination of a potentiator and a potentiated antibacterial agent, which are useful for overcoming the resistance of a bacterial strain for an antibacterial agent.
