Abstract: Efflux pump inhibitors are co-administered with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of ophthalmic or otic infections. The agents may be co-administered directly to the site of infection (e.g., the eye or ear).

Abstract: This invention provides for efflux pump inhibitors to be co-administered with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infections caused by drug resistant pathogens, novel efflux pump inhibitors, combined dosage forms of efflux pump inhibitors with an antimicrobial, and novel medical methods.

Abstract: This invention relates to the field of antimicrobial agents and more specifically it relates to Efflux Pump Inhibitor (EPI) compounds to be co-administered with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infections caused by drug resistant pathogens. The EPI compounds are soft drugs which exhibit a reduced propensity for tissue accumulation. The invention includes novel compounds useful as efflux pump inhibitors, compositions and devices comprising such efflux pump inhibitors, and therapeutic use of such compounds.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are Efflux Pump Inhibitor (EPI) compounds that can be co-administered with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infections caused by drug resistant pathogens. The EPI compounds are soft drugs which exhibit a reduced propensity for tissue accumulation. It is demonstrated that the EPIs can be used to increase the potency, decrease bacterial resistance and development of bacterial resistance, and increase killing effectivness of tigecycline. Also disclosed are methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions for co-administering tigecylcine with an EPI.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are formulations of fluoroquinolones suitable for aerosolization and use of such formulations for aerosol administration of fluoroquinolone antimicrobials for the treatment of pulmonary bacterial infections. In particular, inhaled levofloxacin specifically formulated and delivered for bacterial infections of the lungs is described. Methods include inhalation protocols and manufacturing procedures for production and use of the compositions described.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds having polybasic functionalities. The compounds inhibit bacterial efflux pump inhibitors and are used in combination with an anti-bacterial agent to treat or prevent bacterial infections. These combinations can be effective against bacterial infections that have developed resistance to anti-bacterial agents through an efflux pump mechanism.

Abstract: The use of compounds of the milbemycin class as inhibitors of efflux pumps in microbes or other cells is described, along with pharmaceutical compositions incorporating a milbemycin. Also described is a method of screening for compounds which inhibit a CDR1, CDR2, BEN, or FLU1 efflux pump or a pump with components having a high level of protein level sequence similarity with the components of those efflux pumps.
