Abstract
A screen of 20 compounds identified small molecule adjuvants capable of potentiating anitbiotic activty against Francisella philomiragia. Analogue synthesis of an initial hit compound led to the discovery of a potentially new class of small molecule adjuvants containg an indole core. The lead compound was able to lower the MIC of colistin by 32-fold against intrinsically resistant F. philomiragia.
