Abstract:
:A 384-well-based antibacterial assay amenable for high-throughput screening and combination testing is described. The assay uses 100-500nL of test compounds and tolerates up to 2.5% dimethyl sulfoxide concentrations. It can be used for screening compound libraries and testing combinatory/synergistic/antagonistic effects of antibiotics, small molecules, and natural product extracts.
