Overcoming natural resistance of MTB to antibiotics.21 The combination of CRL-1072 with each drug reduced CFUs in lungs below the levels achieved by the drug alone. The combinations of CRL-1072 with isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), streptomycin (SM) and pyrazinamide (PZA) produced significant bactericidal effects while the antibiotic alone was only mildly bacteriostatic. Ethambutol (ETH) had a significant bacteriostatic effect. Top horizontal line = 28 day growth in untreated controls. The lower horizontal line = CFU counts at day 0 baseline.
