Abstract: Provided herein are aminoglycoside compounds, such as compounds of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (IVa), (V), (VI), (VIIa), or (VIIb) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, stereoisomers, or tautomers of any of the foregoing, useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents. Also provided herein are methods for their preparation. The compounds may be useful in treating a bacterial infection in a subject, for example a Gram-negative bacterial infection.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a bacterial infection, wherein the methods comprise administering (a) ceftibuten or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a hydrate of the foregoing; and (b) clavulanic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, articles of manufacture, and kits comprising a) ceftibuten or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a hydrate of the foregoing; and (b) clavulanic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and uses thereof.

Abstract: Provided are assays or methods for identifying antibodies that bind to microorganisms, e.g., pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria other infectious agents. In some embodiments, the provided methods for identifying an antibody that binds the target microorganism involves gel encapsulation of antibody-producing cells in gel microdroplets with a target microorganism. Also provided are antibodies produced by the method. Also provided are antibodies that bind a conserved region or epitope across variants or species of Acenitobacter.
