the efficacy of current beta-lactam antibiotics and created an urgent need for novel treatment options. Using an S. aureus phenotypic screening strategy, we have identified smallmolecule early stage wall teichoic acid (WTA) pathway-specific inhibitors predicted to be chemically synergistic with beta-lactams. These previously disclosed inhibitors, termed tarocins, demonstrate by genetic and biochemical
