M. tuberculosis infected mice were sham treated (Treatment Group A) or treated with the Standard Regimen (Treatment Group B), PRS Regimen II (Treatment Group C) or one of the top 4-drug combinations (Treatment Groups D-Q) identified from macrophage screening using the PRS platform starting from a pool of 15 TB drugs 5 days per week for 3 weeks. Three days after the last treatment, mice were euthanized to determine bacterial number in the lung. Standard Regimen is comprised of INH, RIF, EMB and PZA at 25, 10, 100 and 150 mg/kg, respectively. PRS Regimen II is comprised of CFZ, BDQ, PZA and EMB at 25, 30, 450 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. Drug doses used in the top 4-drug experimental regimens are as follows: 200–50 mg/kg for AC, 30 mg/kg for BDQ, 25 mg/kg for CFZ, 2.5 mg/kg for DLM, 100 mg/kg for PA824, 450 mg/kg for PZA, 10 mg/kg for RPT and 25 mg/kg for SQ109.
