In this video, Arthur Sieron, Georgina Cox, and Gerry Wright discuss antibiotic adjuvants as an orthogonal way to extend the effectiveness of antibiotics given increasing amounts of antibiotic resistance found in bacteria. They discuss two classes of antibiotic adjuvants: Class I, which targets pathogens, and Class II, which targets host defense mechanisms including either active or passive resistance mechanisms.
