Optimizing Multi-drug Mycobacterium tuberculosis Therapy for Rapid Sterilization and Resistance Suppression

Project Summary/Abstract In P01 AI123036, we were able to generate an algorithm that ranked single agents for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), identified promising 2-drug combinations and, with a completely novel mathematical approach, identified 3-drug regimens predicted to be significantly better than 2-drug regimens. These predictions were prospectively validated in a BALB/c model (H37Rv) and in a Non-Human Primate model of MTB (Erdman strain). In this proposal, we will extend our previous work. There is a large number of new MTB agents, many with novel mechanisms of action. We have 4 Specific Aims (SA) that, when complete, will allow us to identify multi-drug combinations that will…
